Pie: Perfect Cherry Pie




Source of Recipe


USA Weekend


List of Ingredients




1 recipe for As-Easy-as-It-Gets Pie Dough

Cherry Filling:
3 cans (16 ounces each) water pack red tart pitted cherries, drained, with 1 cup of cherry juice reserved
1 cup granulated sugar
Pinch salt
1/4 cup potato starch flour
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 Tb. butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg white, beaten, for pastry wash
1 1/2 Tbs. granulated sugar

Recipe



Make pie dough according to directions.

Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, bring the 1 cup reserved cherry juice, sugar, salt and potato starch to a very thick paste over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Off heat, stir in almond extract, then scrape paste into cherries; stir to combine.

Pour cherry filling into bottom pie shell and dot with the 1 Tb. butter. Cover with top layer of pastry dough, and continue to follow directions for Perfect Peach Pie, adding the beaten egg wash and sugar when indicated.

Note: Two cans of sour cherries just aren't enough to make a full pie. I use 3 drained cans, which yields just a little over 5 cups cherries, about the same amount of fruit used to make the other pies.

Serves 8.
