Cherry Pie Redux

As previously mentioned Todd has a thing for sour cherry pie.  After the pie we made for July 4th Todd wanted to make another, but when we looked sour cherries up we learned that they have a very short season and we didn't think we'd be able to find any.  However we got to our local Stop n Shop and found a tower of quarts of sour cherries.  As you can tell we came home with just about all of them.


We had our work cut out for us getting them all pitted, but it was worth it.


The reappearance of the cherries was also another opportunity to practice the whole wheat pastry flour and butter pie crust.


Look at what a lovely golden brown color we managed this time.


This time we tried a slightly different configuration of circles as an upper pie crust, but we're still perfecting our technique.


As part of the finished dish we had the pie with good old vanilla Häagen-Dazs ice cream and a sour beer.
