“Thank you for sharing your sweet cherry pie recipe. I bought a LOT of delicious Bing cherries from Azure Standard and after eating, canning and freezing what we wanted we decided a cherry pie would be the grand finale for our cherry eating this year. I look” — a cook, 5.0★
“I've tried making this twice, once with frozen cherries and once with fresh. Both times it came out like soup. I followed the directions exactly. The lattice crust came out overcooked and the inside soupy. So disappointing.” — a cook, 1.0★
