Oven: at 375°F
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Pastry for Double-Crust Pie (see recipe below)
- 5 cups fresh or frozen pitted tart red cherries
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup dried tart cherries
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom or 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2. Roll remaining pastry to form a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-wide strips. (If you like, roll out pastry scraps; cut into shapes to top pie before baking.)
3. Thaw cherries, if frozen (don't drain). In a mixing bowl, toss together the cherries, the 1-1/4 cups sugar, the dried cherries, flour, and cardamom or nutmeg.
4. Transfer filling to pastry-lined pie plate. Weave pastry strips over filling to make a lattice. Press ends of strips into rim of crust. Fold bottom pastry over strips; seal and flute edge.
5. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge of pie with foil. Place on baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes more or until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup shortening
