Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. In a medium bowl, combine cherries, granulated sugar, tapioca and almond extract; mix well. (It is not necessary to thaw cherries before using.) Let cherry mixture stand 15 minutes. 3. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry; fill with cherry mixture. Dot with butter. Adjust top crust, cutting slits for steam to escape. 4. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven 50 to 55 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. |
