Recipes
Cherry Pie Filling
Yield: Approximately 4 cups
4 cups Pitted Tart Cherries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp. lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Place prepared cherries in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and
cover. Heat the cherries until they release their juices and come to a simmer,
stirring often. This process takes about 10 - 15 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and constarch together until combined. Pour the sugar mixture into the saucepan and thoroughly combine
with the cherries. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the lling has
thickened, about 2-5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and pour the
lling into the pie crust of your choice.
Bake for 10 -15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the lling
is hot. If using store bought crust, follow the baking instructions on the
package.
NOTE:
This lling makes a great topping for cheesecake, ice cream, etc. You can
also make quick cherry tarts by lling refrigerator cresent dough and baking
according to package instructions.
