My husbands aunt called last week inviting us to his grandmothrs 95th birthday party. I offered to bring something, and she said how about fruit salad. I said ok, so Thursday my husband went shopping for the fruit. I decided I was going to make a fruit basket with a watermellon, something I've not done before. My husband bought, a watermellon, fresh pineapple, peaches, nectarines, plums, oranges, bananas, apples, grapes, cherries, cantalope and honeydew. I had to pit the cherries myself, because no store here sells a cherry pitter, they never heard of it. Ugh do you know what happens when you have to pit cherries by hand. You get red finger nails.

Before the cutting and pitting began on Friday.
I will be doing another article on making the basket itself.

My husband balling the cantalope, he had already done the watermellon.

A naked pineapple.

Yes I halved and pitted 1lb of cherries by hand.

Here is all the fruit balled, diced cut and pitted.
