fresh sour cherry pie
Friends of ours have a great sour red cherry tree. My husband just picked 5 gallon of these cherries. It is a good year for cherries. Every year our friend loads his cherry tree with aluminum pie pans, hooting owls, and whatever else he can get his hands on to keep the birds from getting his cherries. It is all well worth the effort. I just made this pie and it is really, really good. Enjoy.

Step 5Top Cherrie Filling with (uncooked) pie crust. Finish pie crust edge. Sprinkle sugar over top crust. Cut slits in top crust. Put aluminum foil around edges. Bake in 400°F oven for 1 hour. Remove foil from edges and cook longer if edges need to be more golden brown.
