Just love cherry pie, and I need to make this one! Love this recipe with the 2 cans of cherries. :)


When you say 1/2tsp almond, do you mean ground almonds or almond extract?


This is an OMG recipe Michelle.The sugar with the cherries is it normal or caster or powder sugar? Do you think I can make it with pineapple or what?
