Who has a recipe for home made cherry pie? the kind grandma always made.?!


Question: It's best to use canned cherries - it's WAY too much trouble to pit and cook down fresh cherries yourself. Even Betty Crocker (in her original 1950 cookbook) used canned cherries. Here is her recipe:

Mix together in a saucepan:
3/4 to 1 c sugar
4 Tbsp GOLD MEDAL Flour (Betty's favorite brand!)
1/2 tsp almond extract

Stir in:
2 1/2 c pitted sour red pie cherries and juice

Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Pour into pastry-lined 9" pan.

Dot with 1 1/3 Tbsp butter.

Quickly cover with top crust. Bake until lighlty browned and until juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Serve slightly warm, not hot.

Temp: 425 F
Time: 30 to 40 minutes

Betty's also got the absolute best recipe and instructions for making the perfect pie crust. Ask for it.

2 cups pitted sour cherries
1 1/4 cups white sugar
10 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
