Cherrypalooza results

So I think I am done with cherries...maybe...don't tell my husband! A few notes, I love the oxo cherry pitter!!! I paid 15$, probably too much, locally but was worth it!!  You would probably get a better deal online although I used some buy1 get1 half off at Fred Meyers.  I got a cool zester, an oxo measuring cup that has slanted measurements (I will post a pic later) and a candy thermometer. 

We ended up with about 5lbs frozen and I did the following recipes.  I am having issues getting hyper links.
