INGREDIENTS

  • Pastry

    • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

  • Filling

    • 🍒 1 (20 ounce) can pitted sour cherries
    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar
    • 🌾 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
    • ¼ teaspoon red food coloring (Optional)
    • 🥚 1 egg yolk

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare the pastry and refrigerate.

2

Drain cherries, reserving 1 cup liquid. In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Stir in cherry liquid and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

3

Once thickened, add butter, almond extract, food coloring, and cherries. Cover and refrigerate.

4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pastry into an 11 inch circle and place into a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the remaining pastry into another 11 inch circle and cut into eight 1/2 inch strips.

5

Pour the cooled cherry filling into the prepared pie dish. Arrange the pastry strips in a lattice pattern on top, then lightly brush with egg yolk.

6

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Cool before serving.
