Cherry pie is my #1 favorite pie, but I hardly ever eat it. Way too rich but mostly it’s really hard to find a good one. Last 4th of July, I had the best cherry pie ever at Merrilyn’s. today, Phyllis and learned how to make it.
From scratch. Neither Of us feels like we can make a good pie crust.
Because it’s not cherry season, we used frozen cherries.
Lattice top, precisely measured, and cut with a pizza cutter.
Latticed, edges crimped, and ready for milk wash and Demerara sugar.
While the pies were in the oven, we had brunch, then cracked some walnuts.
HOT! from the oven.
Unbelievably delicious. Warm with ice cream. Ahhhhh.
This was a hard post. I have 40 great pictures and could easily have written a tutorial. The next pie will definitely happen in fresh cherry season. Merrilyn, I know Phyl and I love the cooking lessons you’ve given us.
