Sour Cherry Delight
Let’s get to the cherry-picking, shall we? Here’s a delightful image to inspire your kitchen creativity:

Now that we’ve set the mood, let’s gather our ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to make a scrumptious sour cherry dessert:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh sour cherries, pitted
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because who has time for that?)
- 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for that golden, shiny finish)
Instructions:
- First and foremost, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is where the magic begins!
- In a mixing bowl, toss your washed and pitted sour cherries with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Let those flavors mingle for about 10 minutes. Yum!
- While your cherries are socializing, roll out your pie crust into a pie dish. Make sure it’s nice and cozy in there!
- Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared pie crust and sprinkle those little butter pieces on top. They’ll melt and make everything better!
- Now, if you’re feeling fancy, you can create a lattice crust with the second pie crust. But who are we kidding? A single crust works just fine.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg to give your pie that gorgeous gloss. It’s like a beauty treatment but for food!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cherries are bubbling like they’ve just heard the funniest joke.
- Let it cool (if you can resist) for a bit before serving. It’s best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust us, it’s a match made in dessert heaven!
And there you have it! Your very own Sour Cherry Delight that’s sure to leave you and your guests smiling. Enjoy every tart bite!
