Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups pitted cherries (if frozen, thaw)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (*)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instruction

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  • If your cherries are not very juicy, you may want to add water (from a few tablespoons to 1/2 cup depending on your fruit) to thin your sauce.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until mixture has thickened (If your mixture is sticking to the pan, turn the heat down to low and add a splash of water). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
