Sweet Cherry Pie

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!
