How to Make Home Made Cherry Pie
- Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in medium saucepan; stir mixture to remove lumps. Stir water into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, almond extract and food coloring. Add more food coloring if its not red enough.
- Line 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Pour cherry mixture into the pastry shell. Cover with top crust. Trim edges of pastry; seal and crimp edges. Cut slits in top of crust for steam to escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. Yield one 9-inch pie.
