If this is really your first pie, you are some kind of prodigy, girl! Looks just wonderful. And, as always, your photos are beautiful.<br /><br />Maybe this was in your post but I missed it, but which did you use for your filling -- the cornstarch or the tapioca?<br /><br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151018193473620618.post-5617804814185381712009-07-10T09:42:47.705-07:002009-07-10T09:42:47.705-07:00Oh!

The filling was actually my favorite part because the cherries retained their bright flavor while baking into yummy sugariness. And the lemon and almond extract enhanced the taste just in that right way. Next time I make cherry pie, I'm going to play with the crust recipe, but I'm going to keep the filling just as it is. <br /><br />And also, cherry pitter = best $10 I've ever spent!!! I hate having useless gadgets in my kitchen, but when I tried to pit cherries without a pitter, my kitchen and I looked like Dexter's playground, so I decided it was time to invest in professional instruments. :)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448602119075297554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151018193473620618.post-24362037365631518342009-07-10T09:35:33.515-07:002009-07-10T09:35:33.515-07:00I'm in same boat as Nutmeg Nanny, never liking...I'm in same boat as Nutmeg Nanny, never liking cherry pie but it was always made from a can.
