Cherry Pie Filling
By: djmastermum
Nov 25, 2005
Cherry pie filling doesn't get any easier than this, unless of course you buy it already prepared, but this doesn't even require you to pit the cherries!
2 -3 cups
Ingredients
-
2 (250 g) jars pitted cherries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
1
In a saucepan, cook cherries in water for 10 minutes. Mix together the sugar and cornstarch; add to cherries. Cook cherry mixture until thickened. Cool slightly before using to fill pie shell or other dessert.

This is a very nice sub for the expensive cherry pie filling at the grocery store. I used two cans of pitted cherries and instead of the water used the juice from the cherries. Liked the idea Chef #1336878 had and also added some almond extract. Easy to make and saved money, will definitely make again! Made and reviewed for the Aussie Recipe Swap #33.

This was good and so easy! The only addition I made was 1/2 a teaspoon of almond extract. Yummy!

Terrific! I'll never buy canned pie filling again. I have to say, though, for other beginning cooks ... now I know why you said to mix the sugar and cornstarch together BEFORE adding to the cherries. Don't add them separately! It made a terrible mess of lumpy cornstarch, and it was impossible to get the lumps out ... when I actually followed the recipe, though, it turned out beautifully. Thanks for posting this!

So easy to make and I tried it with strawberries as well and it came out better than the cherry one.I do use a little bit less sugar as well.
