Tuesday's Romance of Cookery & Housekeeping ~ Cherry Pie Filling

CHERRY PIE FILLING

3 cups cherries, pitted
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg, beaten

  • Mix cherries, sugar and flour, let rest 30 minutes
  • Mix remaining ingredients together until well blended.
  • After 30 minutes fold the two together.
  • Pour into pie shell.
  • Put on top crust.
  • Bake 45 minutes until crisp. I put foil over the top to prevent burning from the 15-30 minute mark.
  • At the 30 minute mark uncover and brush with beaten egg

I should make this tonight, I have a ton of cherries but I’m only allowed 10 a day… they’ll go bad before I eat them all. Paul would love it!
