Cherries offer high levels of disease fighting antioxidants, so consider this enticing recipe as a healthy dessert choice.
You’ll Need:
- 3 C. dried cherries
- 3 C. boiling water
- 1/2 C. flour
- 1 C. sugar
- 1 tsp. Almond Extract
Cover cherries with boiling water, cover and let soak for 30 minutes. Turn burner on medium, simmer and add sugar and flour to thicken. Remove from heat, add almond extract. Pour into prepared pie crust and add top crust. Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes.
There is way too much flour in this recipe! It tastes of flour, and it is way too thick.
I prefer using corn starch, it takes less than flour I don’t remember the ratio.
I found out thru Google, cut the flour measurement in half to corn starch.
