Cherry Pie

Oven, in the book's wordsA slack oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a slack oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Prepare a pie crust and line the sides of a pie dish with it.

  2. Sprinkle some sugar at the bottom of the dish.

  3. Add the cherries and sprinkle more sugar on top.

  4. Cover with the pie lid and bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven.

  5. For added flavor, mix in some currants with the cherries.
