Yum! Delicious and easy pie. I should have taken a picture, it was beautiful, too. I don't normally use pie filling but really liked the combination of tart cherries in the filling with dark sweet cherries. Omitted the almonds though that would be delicious, too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Yum! I loved the combo of dark cherries with the pie filling. I left out the almonds due to preference. The filling is the perfect consistancy thanks in part to the cornstarch. I would make this again. *Made for Fall PAC 2008*
