Reflections on Cherry Pie



























Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to pit four cups of cherries? Only 'cause that's how many cups you need to make one cherry pie. Then when it's two hours later, and you are all done pitting them? You see you are half a cup short, but by that time you don't care and just use what you have. This year I found a new pie crust recipe in my mother's 'Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook'. It was the easiest pie crust recipe I ever made, probably because Betty Crocker believed in using pictures to guide amateur bakers like myself! I had a feeling it would taste really good when I was making it and guess what? It was sooo freaking good and sooo worth it all. Please go here if you'd like to see how I made my cherry pie.

oh my goodness. I had no idea it took so long.

I bet your pie will be delicious. I'm not sure if I've ever had a pie from fresh cherries rather than canned.

Definitely the tastiest reflection today!

Kitty, it didn't really take two hours, it just felt like two hours. pitting cherries is pretty monotonous! & the pie is already all gone, though I promise I only had two pieces (with vanilla ice-cream) in two days. It was probably the best homemade dessert I ever made.
: ) I want to make another one for Father's Day - I hope I have time!
Mmm, that looks yummy!

mmm this looks so yummy...
Looks great. Laughed at the part about being short on cherries and not caring any more. Wouldn't mind having the pastry recipe.
Paula said…
Those looks so good! I'd be tempted to finish them off before the pie ever got made.
The old Betty Crocker cookbooks are the best. Wish I still had my mother's.
:(

Not fair! Now I want a piece of cherry pie. Excellent shot. Pitting all those cherries? Not me thank you. LOL

That looks delicious!

No dear, it is Winter now down under!
We are on the opposite side of the world.

What is day to you, it's night to us. What is hot to you, it is cold to us. Something like that.

Thanks for the visit.

Yaaay I love cherry pie! That photo as well as the one with the ice cream are killing me. I'll be checking out your recipe momentarily..

Oh, my this looks good!
E-mail a slice of this to ol'«Louis» willya?
He's got some Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream in the freezer that will be just right with this and a hot cup of «Louis'» Holy Cow Blend coffee!

(Pardon «Louis'» shameless plug for his coffee...)

Homemade cherry pie and vanilla ice-cream sounds fabulous. It would probably warrant of me a few more laps around the track though.

And thanks for the info on the ban in CA.

Those cherries look so delicious. I have never made a fresh cherry pie, now I know why - I didn't want to face pitting them. I bet the pie was scrumptious
Pat said…
Yum, yum. I have that same cookbook....the market is still open....
James said…
I love cherries and I love cherry pie even more. This is my kind of reflection! Now I'm off to see the rest of the pie making. :)
