How to Make Chokecherry Pie
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of pitted chokecherries, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. This is crucial to prevent a soggy crust.
- Pour the cooled chokecherry filling into your prepared 9-inch pie shell. (Use your favorite recipe or store-bought).
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely and the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy the taste of Colorado!
