Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Drain cherries and reserve liquid from both jar and can and combine.

In saucepan combine sugar, flour, and salt until thoroughly blended.

Stir in 1 cup of cherry liquid and stir until thoroughly combined.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes constantly stirring.

Once mixture has thickened, add butter, almond extract and cherries. Let mixture cool.

Prepare pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and brush lightly with egg yolk.

Pour cooled cherry mixture into pie pan. Either decorate pie with refrigerated pie crust cut into strips and cross in horizontal and vertical directions into a weaved pattern or decorate pie top with crumb topping (see Crumb Pie Topping recipe).

Bake for 35 minutes or until pie filling appears to be set and slighly bubbling.
