   I make pie with chokecherries.  I remove the pits using the Villaware 
Food Strainer with the 'grape spiral.'  I know some people who make 
Chokecherry Pie without removing the pits and give their guests a container 
to spit the pits into.

   Speaking of Chokecherry Pits, we have a pit-spitting contest during the 
Chokecherry Festival and the record spitting distance is 38'.  I can't 
imagine how that is accomplished because 8' is all I can do.
