This is a pie I make with Trader Joe’s Dark Morello Cherries – the kind that come in a large glass jar. Aldi also sells similar cherries. You’ll need one jar of cherries for a 9 inch shallow pie, but you can double the filling and make a deeper, higher fruit pie if you need to.
Variation: Instead of a double crust pie, use one crust and top with an easy crumb topping. Mix together ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons white sugar, pinch of salt, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. When thoroughly blended, pour in 4 tablespoons of melted and cooled unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
