i have a sour cherry tree in my front yard. gotta say that i love it. If i’m lucky enough to get to it before the robins do i put them to good use and what i can’t use i freeze for our long winters. my recipe for sour cherry pie is very similar, but instead of vanilla extract i use almond extract..
give it a whirl sometime you might like it.

I cannot even get sour cherries here in CA, not even frozen ones in high end stores. I miss them so much having grown up in Europe where they are the normal pie and cake cherry. I have asked at stores/markets many times, but just get blank looks. I think I need to move north to have any chance of tasting these again.

Thanks for the post. Love pies, in all shapes sizes and flavors. Love to bake but the thought of making a pie scares me to death.

Hi Angel,
I love my cherry pitter and would highly recommend investing in one but if you google around you’ll find DIY techniques, like using paper clips. Enjoy your cherries!

I read this post yesterday, and it broke my heart because I have been searching for sour cherries for 3 weeks. However, today I hit the mother lode of late season morello cherries that they weren’t even supposed to get today! Question – how did you pit them so well? What is the best way to pit my 6 quarts and $26 worth of sour cherries to make 4.8 pies? Should I get a cherry pitter?

Ah, those elusive sour cherries! I must get my hands on some one of these days and then I’ll definitely be making this pie.

Tim I just want to say that since stumbling across your site I have made the Doughnut Muffins and I posted photos of them on my Facebook and I think I have given your site address to about 15 people! I Love Your site!

I also make the crust in a food processor. Just add the water very slowly, as it may take much less than 5 tbl–sometimes only 3 until the ball comes together.

I’ve been making this recipe for the past few years and it’s the best. For those worried about the work–sour cherries are MUCH EASIER to pit than sweet/bing cherries. Actually, I wash my hands thoroughly and pop out the pit with my fingernail–no special equipment required!

The only thing I’ve found with this recipe is that I think 6 cups of cherries are even better!

Just found your blog last week!! Sour cherry pie is my FAVORITE pie. Unfortunately, here in NW Indiana, I have no access to sour cherries. Although some people grow these in their yards, they have no idea what they are missing and fail to spray the trees before the worms find them. I have no local stores that carry them; thus, I am always longing for some pie!!

Mmmm! Cherry Pie!
I know the feeling of writing to yourself. I just started my blog and I have 1 comment. I know that it takes time, but it is just the excitement of getting those comments and questions. Plus they lead to conversations and eventually new found friends.

I’m currently making a blueberry pie but I need to buy up some sour cherries from Seedling before they are gone!

Absolutely no cherries here in the Caribbean but it is nice to look and and dream:-) It’s also nice to see how we progress as photographers by looking at past pics

I am in love with sour cherries now. Next year when I can get my hands on a tree. I am going to try this recipe. I just made some sour cherry jam. It’s my favorite now! Thanks for sharing. -Tien
