Delicious Washington Cherry Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups pitted fresh dark sweet cherries, such as Bing or Lambert
• 0.33 cup bottled cherry juice
• 0.33 cup brown sugar
• 0.33 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small chunks

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix the cherries, cherry juice, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, and almond extract until the sugar dissolves completely. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes while you prepare the pie crust.
3. Place the bottom crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in the cherry filling and add small pats of butter on top. Cover with the top crust, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few steam vents in the top crust. Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes of baking to prevent them from getting too brown.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and thick, and the crust turns golden brown, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
