Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c pitted fresh dark sweet cherries (bing or lambert)
1/3 c bottled cherry juice
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c grandulated sugar
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 pastry for a double-crust pie (9-inch)
1 Tbsp butter, cut into small chunks

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, mix the cherries, cherry juice, almond extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar and flour until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to stand while you prepare pastry dough, about 15 minutes.
3. Line a 9-inch pie dish with a pastry crust, and fill with the cherry filling; sprinkle small chunks of butter over the filling. Top with the remaining crust, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several steam vets into the top crust with a sharp paring knife. Line edges of crust with foil (to prevent over browning).
4. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake another 15 minutes or until filling is bubbling and top crust is lightly browned. Allow to cool before serving.
