My plums are ripe. taste great and I've already gathered enough to
make a half batch of wine(if i wished)

thing is, they are a pain to pit. local wineshop told me to freeze
them to help macerate(masticate? crush) sould i do this with the pits
in? is there an easy way to pit plums? I'd assume boiling them would
help, but that might draw out icky stuff from the pits



I used to pit plums on the fly to feed my draft horse. I simply grabbed
the plun, stuck my thumbs into it and pushed out the pit. Took two seconds
and my spoiled baby got the juicy bits with no annoying pits.
