How to Make Sour Cherry Pie
- Preheat oven to 400*
- Drain cherries sand save juice from just one can. In saucepan, stir the cherry juice into the combined mixture of cornstarch and sugar (use more sugar if needed). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Watch carefully, as sugar will burn easily. Remove from heat. Gently stir in cherries and almond extract.
- Pour the filling into pastry-lined pie pan. Dot with butter. Place crust on top, adjust, seal and vent (cut a few slashes in top crust). Bake 30-40 minutes until crust browns and filling begins to bubble. If necessary, cover edges with foil or crust shield during last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Cool pie several hours to allow filling to thicken.
