Rinse your cherries in a colander and remove stems if necessary. If you have a cherry pitter, place one cherry under the spike, and squeeze till the pit comes out on the other side. This can be messy!
No cherry pitter? Press the cherries with a knife to open them up and remove the pits. Double check to make sure the pits are really gone - you don't want to bite down on one while you're enjoying Cherries Jubilee.
