FRESH CHERRY PIE
If you're looking to learn how to make a cherry pie, this recipe is the place to start. This ruby-red cherry pie is just sweet enough, with a hint of almond flavor and a good level of cinnamon. The cherries peeking out of the lattice crust makes it so pretty, too. I like to make a few of these cherry pies throughout the summer. -Josie Bochek, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries will give your pie filling the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Pit the cherries: Before you add the cherries to the pie filling, you need to pit them. This can be done with a cherry pitter or by using a knife. If you're using a knife, cut each cherry in half and remove the pit.
- Sweeten the cherries: Cherries are naturally tart, so you'll need to sweeten them before adding them to the pie filling. You can do this with sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Add some thickener: To prevent the pie filling from being too runny, you'll need to add a thickener. You can use cornstarch, flour, or tapioca starch.
- Let the filling cool completely:Before you add the filling to the pie crust, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
