Very Cherry Pie
Dried cherries add a tangy flavor to traditional cherry pie.
 
4 cups   frozen unsweetened tart cherries  
1 cup   dried tart cherries  
1 cup   granulated sugar  
2 Tbs   quick-cooking tapioca  
1/2 tsp   almond extract  
  Pastry for 2-crust, 9-inch pie  
1/4 tsp   ground nutmeg  
1 Tbs   butter  
 
 
1 Preheat gas oven to 375°F.
2 In large bowl, combine frozen cherries, dried cherries, sugar, tapioca and almond extract; mix well. (It is not necessary to thaw cherries before using.) Let cherry mixture stand 15 minutes.
3 Line 9-inch pie pan with pastry; fill with cherry mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Dot with butter. Adjust top crust, cutting slits for steam to escape. Bake about 1 hour, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If necessary, cover edge of crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
