Needed: One good cherry pie recipe...


I'm on a mission, dear readers. A mission to find a great cherry pie recipe (or two). There are plenty on the Internet and a few in my cookbooks, but I would really like to have a recipe someone has actually tried - and loved.
Why is this so important? Because I promised my sweetie I'd make him a cherry pie. (Just plain cherry - no berry blends.) This coming weekend. And then I realized - hmmm, I haven't actually made a cherry pie before. I've made other pies, but never a cherry one. And I'd prefer to just make a good one the first time out, rather than experiment. So, if you have a recipe you would recommend...

  1. I know you said you didn't want one from the internet, but if you look on tasteofhome.com you can sort the recipes by rating. People rate and review the recipes and I often pick them by the people's comments....I wish I could help but I think I've only made 1 pie in my entire life. good luck!

  3. Kathie, that's a good idea. I went and checked and they do have a cherry pie recipe that has gotten rave reviews, so I might try that one.

  4. Well, I'm sorry I missed this in time for the weekend, but then, you may have more cherries to make into more pies.

    May I suggest two recipes I love to use with the cherries from our sour cherry Evans tree.

    They're both listed on the sidebar of my recipe site: http://it-tastes-good.blogspot.com/

    Happy Baking.........

    I enjoyed it! I usually have pretty good luck with the recipes on Joy of Baking.com.
    Not sure if it's exactly what you are looking for or not though. :)
    Good luck!
