Until our videos last fall (2013) \u00a0I had never baked a real pie before. \u00a0Sure, I had used a premade pie crust, and premade filling, and called it a pie, but looking back, it really wasn’t. \u00a0My adventures last year with Apple Pie<\/a> and Pumpkin Pie<\/a> had given me the courage to knead more dough and attempt a cherry pie! \u00a0You can find the pie crust recipe in the Apple Pie video. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The thing about cherry pie is that I don’t (well, didn’t) even like it! \u00a0I don’t know what came over me when I decided that cherry would be the flavour I would go with this fall. \u00a0What I soon learned though, is that I had never had good<\/em> cherry pie. \u00a0Oh, man, when I had my first bite of this pie, I was in love. \u00a0I find that artificial cherry flavour is one of the worst flavours there are- it brings be back to cough syrup as a kid (and that is not a good thing). \u00a0Using real cherries for this recipe is a must in my opinion. \u00a0If you’re stuck you can use canned cherries in a pinch. but I take no blame for pies made with canned cherries! \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sweetness and tartness of cherries can very greatly, so with this recipe, you can adjust the amounts of lemon juice and sugar accordingly. \u00a0If your cherries are really ripe and sweet, lessen the amount of sugar. \u00a0If your cherries are sour, lessen the amount of lemon juice, or add additional sugar. \u00a0The recipe is pretty flexible that way. \u00a0<\/p>\n
