Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Spices
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/4 c Sugar
1/3 c Cornstarch
1 c Cherry juice blend
4 c Pitted tart cherries; thawed
- if frozen
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
1/4 ts Almond extract

MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
2 c A-P flour
1/2 ts Salt
2/3 c Shortening
7 tb Cold water; as needed
1 lg Egg; beaten, opt

Set oven @ 425oF/218oC.

In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch;
gradually stir in cherry juice until smooth. Bring to a
boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Add cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and
extract.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in
shortening until crumbly. Gradually add cold water,
tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Divide dough in
half so that 1 ball is slightly larger than the other.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger ball to
fit a 9" pie plate. Transfer dough to pie plate; trim
even with edge of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining
dough; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edge.
If desired, brush with beaten egg.

Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375oF/190oC; bake
until crust is golden brown, 45-50 minutes. Cool on a
wire rack.
