Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries pitted
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Start by washing the cherries.
- Next, pit the cherries. We recommend using a cherry piter as it'll make the process go so much faster!
- After pitting the cherries, if you choose to, you can cut them in half. Pit 2 cups of fresh cherries.
- In a saucepan, combine the cherries with corn starch, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Allow to come to a light boil, remove from heat and allow to thicken.
- If you are not using this cherry pie filling immediately, allow to come to room temperature before placing it in an air-tight container or mason jar. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or until you’re ready to use!
