Put the cherries in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the cherries release their juices and start to simmer, about 10 to 15 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Then, pour this mixture into the hot cherries and juice, stirring until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook until it thickens, approximately 2 minutes. Take it off the heat and let it cool before using it as your pie filling.
