How to Make Cherry Pie Filling
- Combine 4 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually add the sugar and cornstarch mixture to the simmering cherries, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the filling thickens to a desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. The filling will thicken further as it cools.
