How to Make Cherry Pie With Canned Cherries

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain a 21-ounce can of cherries, reserving 1 cup of the cherry juice.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  3. Gradually whisk in the reserved 1 cup of cherry juice until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, until melted. Add the drained cherries, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and a few drops of red food coloring (optional).
  6. Pour the cherry filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Top with your favorite pie crust (either a vented top crust or a lattice crust).
  8. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
