MMMM...cherry crisp

My cherry trees are in full blossom. That reminded me I had one pack of sour cherries left in the freezer from last year. I got it out and just took a delicious cherry crisp out of the oven. Now that I have a small chest freezer,,,I can put more cherries to freeze. I hope my cherry tree bears heavy this year. I just do not relish pitting all them And yes..I have a pitter but it does not work well on the small sour cherries. I don't supposed I could just use the whole cherry and have people spit out the pits huh?
