pressing chokecherries

Aug 02, 2010 2 Replies

Bought an apple press last year, wondering if we could adapt it to press a stone fruit called chokecherry. About the size of a blueberry with a stone. Don't want to break the pits.



Ideas appreciated.



Thanks


The stone of a chokecherry is so large with respect to the size of the cherry that I wouldn't try. Freeze them, thaw them, stir well during primary fermentation- the flesh should simply fall off the seeds.
