Cherry Pie Recipe
Through the Kitchen Door May 1968 - In sharing these recipes from the 60's I must admit that they include poems that I wanted to put here also. I hope you all like them as much as I do.

Ingredients
  • CHERRY PIE
  • by Edra Ward
  • Now's the time for memories
  • Of Grandma's cherry pie . . .
  • Brown crust and spice and sugar
  • And jucie fruit, piled high.
  • 'Twas baked in the big oven
  • Along with three or four;
  • Thier wonderful aroma
  • Came floating out the door.
  • We watched through all the making
  • And often got a taste . . .
  • Each bit was so delicious,
  • Not one must go to waste.
  • We'd helped to pick the cherries,
  • That made it extra good,
  • For heat to do the baking
  • We'd carried in the wood.
  • We saw the dough mixed quickly;
  • How fast the rolling pin
  • Smoothed it out, so nice and round,
  • Just right to fit the tin.
  • The firm deft fingers worked,
  • And soon each crimson sphere
  • Was ready to be covered
  • With sugar and spice.
  • The top would then be dotted
  • With cinnamon, here and there,
  • And the latticed upper crust
  • Was put in place with care.
  • And when 'twas time for dinner
  • How everyone would beam,
  • As Grandma cut the cherry pie,
  • And pour the rich thick cream.
  • Filling For Cherry Pie
  • Into your favorite unbaked piecrust, place the filling:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cherry juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red coloring
