Pie Filling from Frozen Sweet Cherries image

This recipe is from an old cookbook from about 1960. You can add almond extract or Kirsch to the filling if you like almond flavoring. I usually add about a tablespoon of Kirsch. This makes 2- 9" pies. You could half the recipe.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 -6 1/2 cups thawed frozen dark sweet cherries, and juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 cup sugar (I only use 1/2 cup, we don't like our pies too sweet)
4 -5 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh or bottled

Steps:

  • Reserve about 1/2 cup juice and mix the cornstarch in it.(4-5 tbsp, depending on how thick you like your filling)
  • Mix sugar with cherries and juices and cook till bubbling.
  • Stir constantly if cooking on stove stop.
  • In the microwave I cook at 5 minute intervals and stir in between.
  • Add the reserved juice/cornstarch mixture and stir to mix.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes until thickened.
  • Cool and use in your favorite pie crust.
