Cherry is my husbands favorite pie so made this for his birthday. We live on the west coast and found frozen cherries at Haggens. Used 1 bag of those and a bag of dried tart cherries from Trader Joes. WOW, what a great pie. Don’t know that I will be making traditional cherry pie again. THANK YOU.

In reply to Caroline M. If you live near a Meijer, they carry them, at least in Michigan. They are 12 oz. bags. I bought 3 bags. The three bags totaled about 7 - 7.5 cups. I used all the cherries. If you have any smaller type supermarkets that are not one of the national chains, you may have luck there. Meijer is the only major supermarket that sells them around me. If they ever stop, I will look into the smaller supermarkets. Good luck! I have always preferred to make cherry pie with the frozen TART cherries. Canned is just not the same.

This pie came out very good. My granddaughter and I made it together and she was very proud of her finished product. The comments on the pie were that it was good, but a little sweet. I tried to clarify if they thought the topping made it too sweet, but they felt the filling itself was too sweet. We were surprised because we used more cherries than called for. We used three 12 oz bags of frozen tart cherries, which yielded about 7 cups, but we did not up the sugar. We did increase the almond extract to 3/4 tsp. and skipped the amaretto as we didn’t have any. Other than that, we followed the recipe as written. We will keep this recipe, but will use less sugar for the filling next time.

This is delicious! I didn’t have almond extract or amaretto so I subbed with DiSaronno and it was fabulous. The next time I make this, I plan to double the filling!

Filling oozed out way more than any pie I have ever made. Bottom crust was very hard even though I baked 10 minutes less than the low end of baking time. Flavor was fine, Really don’t like leaving bad reviews but I had such high hopes for this based on the description and the photo.

Can you please mention what type of pan you are using. I will be baking this pie for a friend who had surgery. Thank you

In reply to Elizabeth. No, you want to make sure you are using frozen tart cherries, there is a difference. Sweet cherries you will typically only find fresh but just make sure you are using tart cherries.

I made this a few years ago and my family and I still remember it! It really lives up to the title the best tart cherry pie. I was looking for this recipe because I plan to make it again for Christmas this year. It was a pretty straightforward recipe. I would give this more stars if I could! don’t hesitate on trying it, you will be very pleased with what you get! Yummy!
