CHERRY TART RECIPE WITH CANNED CHERRIES HOW TO
Only his daddy knows how to give a massage just the way he likes it! He also enjoys the male bonding time.Īnd since Mr Puffy also enjoys special treats - it wouldn't be a special day without a special treat! For his special treat I made him the brownie mix for dogs that he received as a Christmas gift from his good friend Ralph (a german shephard who lives next door). He began his special day with a relaxing massage. To make it up to him we gave him a little extra spoiling this past weekend. Poor Mr Puffy has been sadly neglected lately as we have been so busy with work. Total baking time is generally 65-75 minutes. Continue baking for another 35-45 minutes or until juice is bubbling.
After 20-30 minutes check to see if pie crust is golden brown – if it is – or when it becomes so – cover pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over browning/burning.ģ. Brush pie crust with egg white and sprinkle generously with white sugar.Ģ. Cover cherry mixture and decorate crust with leftover dough. I usually add the cherries and then pour in enough juice to just about cover the cherries. As there is a lot of juice in this pie you can sprinkle a little sugar and flour on the dough before adding the filling. Wrap the crust around your rolling pin to transfer crust to the pie pan as this seems to help prevent tearing of the dough.Ģ. I like to roll out the dough on parchment paper as this helps prevent sticking. Toss cherries with tapioca, sugar, almond extract (and reserved juice if using canned cherries). Drain Cherries (Note: reserve 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the juice if using jars of morello cherries - if you are using fresh cherries they have enough natural juices so that you don't have to reserve any juice)Ģ. Divide dough in half and wrap each half separately in wax paper – let rest in refrigerator while you prepare filling and for a minimum of 10 minutes.ġ. Use a fork to blend/mix just until the mixture forms a dough.Ĥ. unsalted butter (to dot on top of filling once it is in the pie shell)ģ. Whatever you do don't use canned "pie filling" or sweet cherriesġ 1/3 C Sugar ( Note: if you are using Trader's Joe's Morello cherries reduce the sugar to 1 cup)ġ Tbs. fresh tart cherries (if you don't live where you get tart pie cherries you can substitute Trader's Joe's Morello cherries in a light syrup (I use 2 jars - drained reserving 1/4 cup of juice to use with pie)). ice cold water/white vinegar mixture (fill a small bowl with ice water and splash in some white vinegar into the mixture - you will be adding the water/vinegar mixture 1 Tbs. Crisco vegetable shortening (buying it in the premeasured cubes makes measuring a lot easier)Īpprox. Oh, and do serve with a vanilla ice cream on top!īasic 9" Pie Crust (this is my basic pie crust recipe)ġ/2 C. Here's the recipe that they give out at Lehman's Orchard, Michigan - along with my notes for using jars of tart morello cherries for those who aren't fortunately enough to live near a tart cherries orchard. Being the soul of flexibility that I am, I now simply use jars of morello cherries and, even though there is no comparison to using fresh cherries, I still love it. I am no longer fortunate enough to live near a cherry orchard, but I still love a baked cherry pie. Generally a couple of hours was enough time to pick enough for a pie and I would then report to the pitting shed where they dumped my cherries into a machine that pitted the cherries within a matter of seconds! The machine is very archaic in appearance and rather what I imagine it must have been like to see a cotton gin at work. I loved hearing the distant sound of children laughing and the overall lazy pace of slowly filling my bucket with the juicy cherries. I know this because occasionally I would pop one into my mouth! Most of the time I would be completely by myself except for the occasional family that had come to make a day of it.
The cherries look like rubies hanging from the branches and warmed by the sun they are fairly bursting with the taste of summer. You are sent out into the orchard with a bucket and the trees that are ready for harvest have ladders placed against their trunks.
I really loved picking cherries and it was something I looked forward to every year. Every summer around the 4th of July holiday I picked cherries at the Lehman Orchard and used them to bake a fresh cherry pie. My home in South Bend, Indiana was 10 minutes from the Lehman Orchard in Niles Michigan which had a grove of tart cherry trees. I don't know how many of you are fortunate enough to live near a cherry orchard.
