~~Terrific Tuesday With A Recipe~~

 

(Cherry pie is one of my favorites.  This looks like a good recipe using a canned cherry pie filling and tart cranberries.  My mouth is watering already!)

Cranberry Cherry Pie

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
• 2 cups cranberries
• Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
• Milk and additional sugar

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pie filling and cranberries. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim to 1 in. beyond edge of plate. Pour filling into crust.
• Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Cut slits in pastry or cut out stars with a star-shaped cookie cutter. Place pastry over filling; trim, seal and flute edges. Arrange star cutouts on pastry. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 375°for 55-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.

(I love hashbrown casserole.  This is a way to make more of a filling meal than a side dish.  I can't wait to try this!)
