Grandmas French Cherry Pie Recipes

GRANDMA'S CHERRY PIE IS EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE!

Steps:

• If using frozen cherries, make sure they are thawed.
• Cook cherries in a saucepan over medium heat until they start to simmer and the juice releases stirring continuously - you don't want the cherries or sugar to burn. Remove from heat.
• In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Add the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the hot cherries and mix thoroughly.
• Put the cherry mixture back onto low heat, bring to a simmer once more and keep cooking until the filling has thickened, again stirring often. This should take about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let it cool before using.
• Pour the cherry pie filling into your prepared pie crust, top with the second crust and crimp the edges.
• I would use a pie crust shield to keep the edges from overbrowning.
• Place the cherry pie on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 400F
• Reduce heat to 375F and then bake for another 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
