6/30/2012 Basket - Mini Cherry Pies

Mini Cherry Pies
Uses from this basket: Cherries




First pit a pound of cherries. I don't have a cherry pitter, so I used a chopstick. To the pitted cherries, add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 C. white sugar, and 2 T. quick-cooking tapioca. Mix that in a bowl and set aside.

Make your favorite pastry crust. I used a box mix.


Lay the crust in the tart tins or pie plates you plan on using. Fill with cherries. Cover with a lattice top. Cook at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until crust browns and filling thickens.
