Cherry Pie

I made a cherry pie the other weekend using homemade crust, but canned cherries. I don’t know about you, but I love canned cherries! It t is one of the few things I think is actually better than homemade.

I used my new pie crust recipe, but doubled my almond extract to get a bit more flavor. It was delicious warmed with some homemade whipped cream. 

Homemade Whipped Cream

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of heavy cream

 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

 1 tablespoon of confectioners’ sugar

DIRECTIONS

1.       In a kitchen aid, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form.

2.       Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form.

NOTE:  Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.
