Festive Cherry Pie

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Cherry pie recipe is made with canned sour cherries, thickened, and two crusts.

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) red, sour, pitted cherries in water, drained and liquid reserved
  • 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation:

Combine tapioca, sugar, and salt. Drain cherries. Reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid. Add the drained cherries and 1/2 cup liquid to the tapioca mixture. Add food coloring and almond extract. Stir and let stand.

Line pie plate with pastry. Turn cherry filling into prepared pie shell. Dot with butter. Place upper pie crust over filling. Seal and flute edges. If desired, cut leftover strips of pastry to make stems and leaves and arrange on top crust. Cut small vents in the crust to let steam escape. Bake at 400° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until syrup boils with heavy bubbles.
