This is so yummy!! A family favorite! We usually have this at the holidays, but also at Presidents day coming up! It would also be a lovely dessert for Valentines Day. I believe the original source was a Pillsbury Cookoff Booklet. Prep time is a guestimate. Cook time includes chilling time.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Use a combination of sweet and tart cherries. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. If you only have one type of cherry, you can add a little bit of lemon juice to the filling to make it more tart.
- Don't overcook the filling. The cherries should be soft, but they should still hold their shape. If you overcook the filling, it will become mushy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to become flaky.

Cherry pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
