Instructions
- Whisk the sugar and cornstarch together until well combined.
- Add the cherries, sugar mixture, and 1/4 cup of water to a medium large non-reactive pan. Stir to combine and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and cornstarch. As the cherries heat they will start to release their juices.
- Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat and continue to simmer and stir for a few minutes until the filling has thickened to your desired consistency. Keep in mind your filling will thicken further as it cools.
- I like to taste the filling (be careful, it's hot!) to see if it needs any more sugar, or a squeeze of lemon.
- Let the filling cool to room temperature and then refrigerate in an airtight container until needed.
Notes
- This recipe will fill a 9 inch pie.
- If you use sweet cherries you might need to reduce the sugar and increase the lemon juice.
