http://www.durgan.org/URL/?XVGRS 13 September 2013 Pitting Plums
It was necessary to remove the pits from 40 pounds of plums. After some thought, it was decided to try my cherry pit removal tool.This tool is available in the kitchen tool section of many stores. It was found this tool works just fine in removing plum pits. The jobs takes a bit of time but is efficient and practical. Pictures depict the process.

I buy my cherries with the pits removed from a local supplier, but I have removed them by hand. It is a bit messy but effective.

Forty pounds of plums were processed into 23 litres of juice. The plums were pitted, water added to cover, cooked until soft, blended into a slurry, strained through the food mill to remove some larger particles (probably not necessary), pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long term storage.The end product is relatively sweet and most pleasant to drink. The plums were purchased since my trees are still immature.

Twenty pounds of frozen, pitted, sweet cherries were purchased at $1.60 per pound and processed into nine liters of juice, which was pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long term storage at room temperature. There is little gross fiber in cherries so screening can be dispensed with if one is not fussy.Simply blending into a slurry is probably sufficient.
