Market Flavours: Cherry pie recipe
For the first time in years, I baked a pie, using sour cherries from the market. I used Foodland Ontario’s Super Simple Cherry Pie recipe, which was perfect for me since I can’t make a pie crust to save my life. With this recipe, you use a half package of puff pastry, roll it out into a large irregular circle, then pile the cherries (sweetened slightly and with a bit of cornstarch or rice flour as a thickener) in the middle and fold the edges of the pastry over the top to make a rustic crust. The pastry doesn’t need cover the cherries, just wrap up around the edges. I really should have taken a picture of it, but we invited over a neighbour and ate the entire pie in one sitting.
Update: made another one, this time with photos:
You can buy both sweet (for eating) and sour (for baking) cherries from Loffredo Fruit Farms at St. Andrew’s Farmers’ Market on Saturdays, 9am-1pm.
