Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Reserve about 1/2 cup juice and mix the cornstarch in it.(4-5 tbsp, depending on how thick you like your filling)

Mix sugar with cherries and juices and cook till bubbling.

Stir constantly if cooking on stove stop.

In the microwave I cook at 5 minute intervals and stir in between.

Add the reserved juice/cornstarch mixture and stir to mix.

Cook for about 3 minutes until thickened.

Cool and use in your favorite pie crust.
