Time 31m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, i use Baking Spice Mix
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
15 ounces tart cherries, pitted packed in water
16 ounces sweet cherries, I used frozen
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract, or
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pie double crust pie crust
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon sugar, for topping the crust

Steps:

  • Ready pie shell and let it relax while making filling.
  • strain can of tart cherries, reserving liquid.
  • mix all cherries together, set aside
  • NOTE: it would not accept baking spice in the ingredient list, so I put pumpkin pie spice as it is the closest. The baking spice I use is 326104. Otherwise, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp each cloves, nutmeg, ginger, 1/4 tsp each cardamon and allspice - to the best of your pantry's ability.
  • in a large saucepan cook over medium heat the reserved liquid, cornstarch, salt, spices and sugar. Cook until thick and bubbly. Stirring constantly.
  • Stir in berries, until mixed. Add the almond or vanilla extract.
  • Cool to room temperature. (this help keep pie crust from getting soggy while baking).
  • Pour into pie shell. Either top with a lattice top (prettiest) or cover with remaining pastry dough remembering to vent in several spots.
  • Brush with heavy cream (or milk) and sprinkle with sugar and a small pinch of salt.
  • Rest pie in refrigerater for 1 hour. 20 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 425 with a baking stone set on the lowest rack possible.
  • Cook pie for 1 hour, or until all over is bubbly. You may need to tent a piece of foil over the pie to keep the shell from burning, just make sure to have steam vents.

The crust was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.
