I have been looking for this recipe for years. I made it a few months ago and entered it into a pie baking contest at church...it WON! I plan on making it for Thanksgiving this year

WOW!!! who would have known can cherry pie filling and cranberry sauce would be so good together! The only change I made was to put 1 tablespoon lemon juice in and leave out the sugar as we like our pies tart. It came out tasting delicious. Thanks IB for a great recipe.

I have made this pie many times and am just getting around to reviewing it. Very good pie. I use Deb Wolf's tip and use rinsed/drained fresh cranberries (after all, I live in Wisconsin, the cranberry capitol of the world, lol.) It works out very well this way. This recipe helped me win my wife back after she had left me and moved to Canada for six months, and if that isn't a positive review, you try.

This was fantastic, great combination! I did the same thing as Dorel, skipped the sugar and used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. I also added 2 tablespoons of chopped candied ginger to the filling. This will definitely be made often. Thanks IB!

Excellent flavor! I didn't have whole- berry sauce, so I added a cup of rinsed and drained cranberries. Have made it at least 4 times, but forgot to thank you.
