About

I love fresh cherries! As a university student, I had a casual job in an extremely busy department store. My favorite part of the day was walking across the mall to a fruit and veg shop to buy a small bag of cherries on my lunch break. Many years later, this Sweet Cherry Pie recipe has become one of my favorites. I actually can’t bear the thought of cooking this beautiful fruit, so this dessert has fresh cherries as the hero ingredient.
