Peach Pitter

Handheld tool that pushes through a peach to split it and free the pit in one motion, without the knife-and-twist wrestling that mangles ripe fruit. Useful for nectarines and other stone fruit of similar size.

Stone fruit preservation — canning halves, freezing slices, or drying — starts with pitting a lot of fruit fast. Cutting around the pit by hand is slow and tears up soft, fully ripe fruit. This tool cuts through the fruit around the pit and separates halves cleanly, keeping them intact for canning and presentable for freezing.

Clean halves also brown less because they spend less time handled and exposed before hitting the lemon-water bath or syrup.
