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 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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 was really good! Went to buy cherries for my son's Birthday Cheesecake and when I saw the price - I decided we should use the cherries from our tree. Boy it was easy and tastes so great! I also used frozen cherries..... plus it has more cherries than sauce....

    This was a very good cherry pie filling. I would definitely use it again, but felt there was something missing.

    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.
