Traditional Cherry Pie

The success of a cherry pie depends on the quality of the cherries—and it might take a few tries until you get it right. Most people recommend using sour cherries for a pie, but I like to use juicy sweet Bings or a combination of sweet and sour. No matter which type you choose, there’s no question of what to do when you get your hands on two pounds of ripe, juicy cherries—make a pie! Once you work through pitting them, the rest is easy.
