My mother used to make this pie in the 60's. So much better than that gooey red pie filling! I made two pies but also added dried cherries to the juice, reconstituting them, added salt and lemon juice, too!

This is a very good filling. My kids even enjoyed it. I am putting this one in my favorites. Thank you -
Love this recipe! Best tasting cherrie pie ever.... to get the red color I just add a few blueberries or huckleberries. Nice alternative to using food color.
