Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries: This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor.
- Pit the cherries before using them: This will make it easier to eat the pie and prevent the pits from getting stuck in your teeth.
- Use a combination of sweet and tart cherries: This will give your pie a complex flavor.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so you don't want to overcrowd the pie crust.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
