OMG, you have converted me to Sweet Cherry Pie with just your photographs. This is not my Grandmother’s Comstock out-of-the-can Cherry Pie; that’s for sure! And when I try your recipe, I get to finally use my “Cherry Pitter” – how cool is that!
Really enjoy your blog… look forward to seeing what great things you are making next.

Sassy, I feel your pain about missing sour cherry season! In my neck of the woods, they are so rare, tat the farmers who do grow sour cherries have a WAITING LIST. Yes, that means you cannot even hope to find them at the market in the season, you need to sign up. Crazy.
I won’t complain, though. We Californians are ridiculously blessed with an abundance of produce. I hope to get some next year.
Your sweet cherry pie looks beautiful!
What I usually do with the butter is cut it into cubes first, then freeze it in plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Then you don’t need to battle with cutting the frozen butter.

My mouth is literally watering looking at that pie. Crust looks amazing and I’m jealous of your cherry pitter. I’m too frugal to treat myself to the one with the nifty container at the end.
BTW, there are sour cherry trees on Clinton St. and 3rd place. Never got the chance to ring the owners bell and ask if I could buy some and it didn’t look like they harvested them. Such a shame.

Why oh why didn’t I find your blog earlier?!
I bought 2 pounds of cherries on sale. Besides munching a few at work and giving some to coworkers I at them ALL. Raw and delicious. This pie looks fantastic!

Aw, my parents gave away bags of cherries from their tree in July, I wish I’d had this recipe then. I’m bookmarking it for next year.
