Cherry Pie
Move out of the way apple pie! You’ve lost the #1 spot to cherry pie!
I am totally hooked on cherry pie and am one happy lady when there is a slice of it set before me; I don’t care if it’s made with sweet cherries or tart cherries. And then add a scoop of ice cream, pure heaven! Did you know that in Kansas
This cherry pie recipe is one that I’ve made for years and is great filled with sugared up tart cherries, cinnamon and lemon extracts and Kirsch brandy. This is a simple recipe for a great pie!
We used to have two cherry trees which provided great cherries for jam, pies and more but, they’re long gone now. So that has left me with the problem of trying to find fresh tart cherries. They are definitely not sold in grocery stores and I have never seen them in the farmer’s markets around here.
The only ones I have been able to find are canned tart cherries. I just wish there was a cherry orchard in the vicinity or in Southern Wisconsin !
