Looks good, and easy, once you've got the puree made. We made cherry preserves yesterday. It went fast and easy once the cherries were
pitted.

There are pitting machines; or one could do the
initial cooking with the pits and then use a Foley or
just a sieve.

I seem to recall a demo in which someone got the cherry pits out just
using a straw, sort of like a small version of an apple core tool.

I've heard of that but don't recall seeing it in action.

Title: Swedish Cabbage Rolls
12 lg Cabbage leaves
1 lb Ground beef or turkey
1 Egg -- beaten
1 c Rice -- cooked
1/4 c Milk
8 oz Tomato sauce
1/4 c Onion -- finely chopped
1 ts Brown sugar
1 ts Salt
1 ts Lemon juice
1/4 ts Pepper
1 ts Worcestershire sauce

I'm with you except for the milk and the turkey.
Recent reports are that gobbler no better for you
anyway. Not that I dislike turkey, just that the
flavor is wrong.

Around here it's urban moose. Like yours they're mostly females and newborns, but there are some pretty impressive bulls
running around. They've figured out that being in town
reduces their chances of running into a major predator,
bear/wolf, dogs are not a factor, so the only danger is 4-
wheeled and they're pretty traffic aware. Cows with calfs
can be pretty dangerous, already had one guy get slightly
tenderized this year (a week or two in the hospital), and
moose have killed people in Anchorage in the past.

I've seen a few videos of moose ambling down city streets, almost
dareing anything to mess with them. Given their size, I would amagine a

Essentially. A healthy moose is pretty invincible.

highway collision would do extensive damage to most cars. Around here,

At speed, collision with a moose is going to destroy a car
and likely its occupants as well. The animal itself may
be damaged or not.

the deer are mostly out in the wee hours of the night/morning -- but
giving that we seem to live on Alaska time zone, we can see them
moderately often. When they do have a run-in with a car, the damage can
be simply a moderate dent up to a total. Either way, it can result in a panic attack by the car passengers.

A couple close calls is all I've experienced with
livestock and automobiles, though peaceful encounters
have occurred. With moose, both near Denali and the
White Mountain National Forest, we've simply had to
wait until the critters felt it was time to move on.
Once we were on the way to the Mt. Cabot trailhead,
and we sat there and sat there and eventually had to
give up, backing up to the nearest turnout and going
on our way. In Alaska, the one encounter I recall
just resulted in the driver reminding the rest of us
not to get out of the car. Amazingly, some tourists
in other cars got out to gawk and take pictures, but
the moose and calf didn't seem much bothered.
