Cherry Pie Filling

Cherry Pie Filling is a commercially available product packed in jars or cans. Simply pour the mixture into a crust and bake for a quick cherry pie. Fillings are available with sugar or artificial sweeteners in most well-stocked grocery stores.

Substitute For Cherry Pie Filling

If you don't have cherry pie filling you can substitute one of these alternatives:

• Make your own using unsweetened frozen sour pitted cherries, see recipe below.
• OR - To vary the flavor use another fruit filling such as blueberry, peach, or apple

Quick Cherry Pie Filling

2 - 18 oz bags unsweetened frozen sour cherries (6 cups total)
1 to 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar (to taste)
1/2 cup flour (for thickening)

Combine the sugar and flour together in a large bowl.  Add the cherries and stir to combine and coat them well.  Pour the mixture into a unbaked pie shell (9" pan)
