Peace Pie, Marquette
2 lbs fresh or frozen tart cherries 3/4 cup white sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt 1 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp almond extract 1 8" pre-made pie crust In a large pot, combine cherries, sugar, flour, and salt. Heat the pot and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue stirring for approx. 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add butter, lemon juice and almond extract. Allow to fully cool before assembling pie or refrigerate overnight. This pie is beautiful with a lattice crust! It is also delicious with Almond Oatmeal Crumble on top! Place pie on a cookie sheet - the juices will bubble over. Bake at 350° F for 40–50 minutes. Pie is done when crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling over.
