Cherry Pie
by:
Because cherries release less liquid when baked than, for instance, blueberries, they can be baked raw in a pie without too much liquid accumulating. However, toss the cherries with cornstarch, which thickens the liquid they release as they cook. It is important that the pie get very hot - cherry juice should bubble up through the slits in the top - to cook the cornstarch, otherwise it won't thicken properly. The pie should be allowed to sit for 3 hours after it comes out of the oven so the fruit filling can set.
