Answer 3

Believe it or not one of the best receipes for cherry pie filling is on the side of the tapioca box. Tapioca is a great thickener for pies instead of flour. I find the best pies start with tart cherries instead of the fake tasting canned pie filling. Tart cherries can be found canned and if you're lucky, frozen. Pedersen farms brand frozen cherries already have the sugar and thickener in them. You just put in a pie shell. Also, it's really good to use almond extract in your cherry pie. Good luck. It's really easy, just look on the tapioca box.

Answer 5

In all honesty, I like canned cherry pie filling. But in a saucepan I add a good splash of brandy and a bit of almond extract. Cook it down just a little and use that.

It's also great over ice cream or pound cake!
