I have a bush with cherries that sound similar to that.
I boil the cherries whole with a small amount of water, till they
are fairly well softened, let them cool, then rub them with my
fingers through a sieve in small batches. It takes a while, but
by the time I've finished I have a lot of pulp in one place, and
a whole pile of mostly pulp-free stones in another place.
Relatively trouble free. Relatively.
I usually make a jam with the result, but the pulp could be saved
and used for other purposes.
