Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Cherry Pie Filling.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful cherry pie filling.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries and set it over medium heat.
Step 3
Cover the pan and let the cherries cook, stirring often, until they release their luscious juices and the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, blend the sugar and cornstarch until they are perfectly combined.
Step 5
Once the cherries are simmering, pour this sweet mixture into the pan, stirring well to ensure everything is harmoniously mixed.
Step 6
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and allow the filling to cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the filling cool before using it to create your scrumptious pie.
Step 8
This cherry filling is not just a recipe; it’s a sweet memory waiting to be baked into a delicious dessert.
