Homemade Cherry Pie Filling
 
Ingredients
  • 2, 14.5 oz. Cans Pitted Sour Cherries (in water NOT syrup), drained with ½ c. juice reserved
  • 1 c. Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ c. Cornstarch
  • 1 t. Pure Vanilla Extract (or Almond Extract)
Instructions
  1. Combine the cherries, ½ c. juice, sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Cook over low-medium heat until thickened, stirring frequently. Be patient...it will take awhile but the mixture will magically thicken around the 25 minute mark. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla or almond and let cool completely. Store in refrigerator.
Notes
Makes about 2½ cups.
