Perfect Cherry Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Originally published July 2011.<\/p>\n

So what makes the perfect cherry pie? <\/span><\/p>\n

My perfect cherry pie uses sweet cherries and not the sour type so popular in some regions. The pie should be completely uncomplicated and straight forward. <\/span><\/p>\n

The sweet cherries being the undisputed star of the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

While I do like a lard or shortening pastry for other pies, I love an all-butter pastry for cherry pie. The flavour combination of the fresh baked cherries with the crisp buttery crust is simple perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not too sweet please!<\/span><\/h3>\n

A perfect cherry pie should not be cloyingly sweet but should rely mostly on the natural sweetness of the fruit. This recipe uses only 1\/4 cup sugar per pound of fruit. I also use brown sugar which brings out more of the natural flavour of the cherries. <\/span><\/p>\n

For me, a perfect cherry pie should hold together well when cooled and not be a soupy mess. Nor should it be a gluey, starchy blob either.<\/span><\/p>\n

This delicious recipe ticks all of those boxes for me. I have to admit that although I try to limit my dessert intake to one serving of anything that I make, I ate 3 pieces of this perfect pie yesterday from dinner to bedtime. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying hard not to eat the last two pieces this morning while everyone else is out of the house!<\/span><\/p>\n
