Bought an apple press last year, wondering if we could adapt it to press
a stone fruit called chokecherry. About the size of a blueberry with a
stone. Don't want to break the pits.

Ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Possibly so, but I'd recommend using a mesh bag and freezing the fruit.
Press the bag after a few days fermentation.

The stone of a chokecherry is so large with respect to the size of the
cherry that I wouldn't try. Freeze them, thaw them, stir well during
primary fermentation- the flesh should simply fall off the seeds.
