We have Fourth of July at my home every year and this is the delicious pie I always serve. My family always enjoys it because it is so festive.Sherry R Clubine, Independence, Kansas Ingredients:
pastry for a double-crust pie (9 inches) |
2-1/2 cups pitted dark sweet cherries |
2-1/2 cups fresh blueberries |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon butter |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine cherries and blueberries. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; stir into fruit. Let stand for 10 minutes. Pour into crust; dot with butter.
3. Roll out remaining pastry into a 10-in. circle. Cut pastry in half. Cut one half into two wedges. Using a 1-in. star cookie cutter, cut out stars from one wedge. Place cutout pastry wedge over filling. Discard cutout stars.
