Cherry Pie Recipe

• 3 cups frozen tart cherries
• 1-cup coarse sugar
• 2 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• Two-crust pie pastry, for 9-inch pie
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

• In a medium size bowl, mix cherries, coarse sugar, tapioca and almond extract. It is not necessary to defrost cherries before mixing.
• Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Fill the mixture in a 9-inch pie plate that is lined with pastry.
• Put a bit of butter on top of the mixture.
• Preheat in an oven to 400o Fahrenheit.
• Make slits on the top crust for letting steam escape. Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 50 to 55 minutes.
• Notice the crust turning golden brown and the filling becoming bubbly.
