Ingredients
- 2 c. sifted flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 c. shortening
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 can water-packed pitted red tart cherries - (14.5 ounce ea), liquid removed, with juice reserved
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp rum Additional flour for rolling
Directions
- For the Flour Paste Pie Crust: Sift together the flour and salt. Remove 1/3 c. of the mix and mix with 1/4 c. water into a paste. Cut the shortening and butter into the flour mix. Incorporate the paste quickly into the flour and form into 2 balls; the second ball should be about 3/4 the size of the bigger ball. Flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
- For the Cherry Filling: Mix together the sugar, cornstarch and salt; set aside. Bring the cherry juice to a boil in a saucepan. Add in the sugar mix and cook till thickened, about 2 min. Remove from the heat and stir in the cherries, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and rum. Let cold to hot, 10 min, before filling crust.
- For Assembly: Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Roll out the larger dough disk on a lightly floured surface into a circle large sufficient to fit into a 9-inch pie plate with a 1-inch edge. Place the circle in the pie plate, then fill with the Cherry Filling.
- Roll out the remaining dough into a 12-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into lengthwise 1-inch strips. Arrange the strips on top of the pie in a lattice pattern. Roll and crimp the edges of the crust.
- Set the pie in the center of the oven, placing a sheet of foil beneath it to catch any drips. Bake till the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling in the center, 35 to 40 min. If the edges of the crust become too dark while baking, cover them with strips of foil.
