Recipe of the Week: Presidents Day Pie

 

Since our first president was an avid cherry lover, this week, we will give y’all the recipe for one of George’s favorites!

 

Ingredients:

 

4 Cups cherries pitted

1 Cup sugar (1 ¼ cups for sour cherries)

¼ Cup Flour

½ Teaspoon Cinnamon

Pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie

 

Preparation:

 

-Mix ingredients for filling.

-Place in pastry-lined pie pan

-Put top crust on. Cut vent slits in top crust, and flute edges.

-Brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

-Bake at 425’F for 25 minutes, reduce heat to 350’F and bake for 25-30 mins more.

TIP: Put sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large Ziploc bag. Add the cherries and toss to coat. This coats them more even then doing it in a bowl and the filling is firmer.
