Time 4h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 deep dish pastry for double crust
2 (16.5 ounce) cans pitted dark sweet cherries, drained with syrup reserved
1 (16 ounce) can pitted sour cherries, drained
¾ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon red food coloring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one crust, and place in a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Roll out top crust, and set aside.
  • Measure 1 1/2 cups reserved cherry syrup into a small saucepan over low heat. Mix together sugar, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir into syrup until dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring syrup to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in butter, lemon juice, vanilla, almond extract, and red food coloring.
  • In a large bowl, combine cherries and thickened syrup. Gently toss until evenly coated. Pour filling into pie crust. Cover with top crust, and crimp edges with fork. Make a few fork vents in top pie crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 3 hours before serving.

This recipe is great with vanilla ice cream or yogurt. It's my first year trying the crust and haven't looked for another pie crust recipe since. If desired, mix 1/4 cup of wheat germ into the pie crust dough.

This is called Best Cherry Pie because it is a blue ribbon winner at the county fair in Vicksburg, MS (according to the cookbook "Vintage Vicksburg"). I think it's a blue ribbon winner
