For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the syrup. If you don't have arrowroot powder, cornstarch can be used as a substitute. Use the same amount. A lattice crust adds a beautiful touch to this pie. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one crust, and gently place in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Roll out the top crust and set aside. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
02
StepIn a small saucepan, measure out 1 1/2 cups of the reserved cherry syrup. Over low heat, whisk together the sugar, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring the syrup to a boil, cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in the melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, and red food coloring. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the drained sweet and sour cherries with the thickened syrup, ensuring they are evenly coated. Pour the cherry filling into the prepared pie crust. Carefully cover with the top crust and crimp the edges decoratively with a fork. Cut a few vents into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (Assembly time: 15 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (Bake time: 50 minutes)
05
StepAllow the pie to cool completely for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (Cool time: 3 hours)
