Fresh sour cherries are surpassed only by this product. I recall scrambling up and around the cherry trees for my grandmother when I was a kid growing up in western Pennsylvania. Her pies were adored by everyone. Years later, I was living in south Louisiana, where I knew no one who had ever had a fresh cherry pie. In fact, most of my friends detested cherry pies because their only exposure had been to the sickeningly sweet gelatinous goop in canned cherries. I was determined to rectify the situation until I figured out why there were so few cherry pies. There are no cherries in this recipe. Anywhere. Then, out of nowhere (years later), Oregon Red Tart Cherries appear on the supermarket shelf. Cherry pies are the best I've ever had.

After the American crop was much smaller than expected, this company took a hit for using Polish fruit this year. I've used both American and now Polish fruit, and there's not much of a difference in the final product, which I use to make fruit pies and tarts. I'd rather use frozen pie cherries, but they've vanished from my local market in recent years. I grew up in upstate New York, surrounded by orchards, and I miss fresh pie cherries.

Hundreds of cherries were seated one by one by hand, each with its own pit that was pushed out by a single turn of the crank.

Like everyone else, I've been staying at home a lot and doing things like baking as a result of the virus outbreak. A package of two Pillsbury ready-made pie dough and two cans of these Oregon cherries makes a fantastic cherry pie, in my opinion. Two cans of cherries contain just enough juice for the pie recipe, which also requires two cans of drained cherries. A cup of sugar and cornstarch are combined with the juice and almond extract and brought to a boil before being poured into the prepared pie pan. Add the top pie dough and bake, and you've got a great cherry pie with very little effort. The best part is that these cherries taste exactly like a cherry pie cherry should: firm but with that tart sweetness that everyone craves. They are my favorite.
