Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups cherries, sweet - frozen or fresh pitted cherries*
3/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar* (1 cup sugar sour cherries)
ΒΌ cup corn starch
1 tbsp. lemon juice
pie crust for a 2 crust pie (bottom layer and lattice pie crust top)

Steps:

  • If using frozen cherries, make sure they are thawed.
  • Cook cherries in a saucepan over medium heat until they start to simmer and the juice releases stirring continuously - you don't want the cherries or sugar to burn. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Add the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the hot cherries and mix thoroughly.
  • Put the cherry mixture back onto low heat, bring to a simmer once more and keep cooking until the filling has thickened, again stirring often. This should take about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool before using.
  • Pour the cherry pie filling into your prepared pie crust, top with the second crust and crimp the edges.
  • I would use a pie crust shield to keep the edges from overbrowning.
  • Place the cherry pie on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 400F
  • Reduce heat to 375F and then bake for another 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

GRANDMAS CHERRY PIE

Grandma had a cherry tree in her back yard, I could hardly wait for the cherries to ripen. Cherry Pie is my favorite.Warm with vanilla ice cream on top there is nothing better. Since I don't have a cherry tree in my yard I have to buy cherries but I still use Grandmas recipe.
