Ingredients

  • 4 cups pitted tart red cherries

  • 1 cup white sugar

  2. Whisk sugar with cornstarch in a bowl until combined; pour mixture into hot cherries and juice. Stir until thoroughly combined.

  3. Bring to a simmer over low heat; cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool before using as pie filling.
