Cherry Pie
I didn't wake up this morning thinking I would make a cherry pie, but when I saw these beautiful cherries at the farm stand, I had to do it! It's not hard, it just takes some time and patience.
I started with the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book" and went from there. I used 4 C of pitted cherries and all the juice.
Better Homes said to add 1 1/2 C sugar, but I only added 3/4 C (which was plenty for our taste)
1T melted butter
4 T cornstarch
Mixed it well and poured into bottom crust.
As you can see, I went the extra mile and made a lattice top crust - it's worth it in my opinion for such a lovely end product!
I always put foil around the edges of my pies for the first half of baking, just in case the crust wants to get too brown.....
