This weeks pie is a Cherry pie. I made it special for my friends dad who is helping Lucas with his basketball skills.
Now I have never been a fan of cherry pie but this one is fantastic. I used a recipe I found from Allrecipes.com.
I did use a different cherry because the only ones I could find at my store were frozen sweet dark cherries. I decided since they were sweet I would lighten the sugar. I only used 3/4 cup of sugar instead of 1 cup.
I love using tapioca in my fruit pies because it gives them a jellied consistency. We had a piece after dinner and it was the perfect end for Sunday dinner. Jason said he has never been a fan of cherry pie either but he also really liked it.
The first one is for Rich. I hope he likes it. The second is the one I kept for me and my friends.
On a side note I also purchased some new toys. First I decided the marble rolling pin was way too heavy and I think it was making me mess up on my crust so I got a new wood one.
I also decided I was getting tired of having the flour all over my counters so I got a mat to use. It has measurements and sizes too so now my pie crust is not too small for the pan!
Next week I will be making a Cream Cheese-Pineapple Pie! Can't wait!
