I had tons of cherries from the Farmer’s Market, I though pie was in order. Pie on a stick to be exact. But here’s my pie filling recipe – which does not always have to involve sticks…
ingredients:
2 cups cherries
1/2 cup sugar
2 TB lemon juice
2 TB cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
In a large saucepan combine the cherries, sugar and lemon juice. Over medium high heat, cook til soft, mashing the cherries, throughout.
Once it starts to get saucy, spoon out some of the liquid and mix it into a paste with the cornstarch. Add it back into the pan mixture and stir until thickened.
Stir in the almond extract. Now your pie filling is ready…for something wonderful…
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
that pitter/chomper is awesome.
you always have the cutest kitchen! but i love the recipe – i have seen so many cherries in the market and it’s great to have another way to use them besides just throwing them in your mouth
I hope the next post is that pie on a stick recipe!!!!!
Great way to use up cherries since they go bad so fast–thanks!
I haven’t seen that cherry pitter before. It looks great.
I love your pitter! I have been eyeing that one for weeks!
