Now in the interest of keeping this honest!  I have no idea what his Cherry Pie experience is.  This very well may have been the first cherry pie of his life or like I prefer to believe, he is a cherry pie expert and certified to make such statements!

Now if you know me at all you know I don’t always make my pie crust from scratch, I use boughten!

But I do have my Great Grandmother’s Lard Pie Crust recipe, and I am a firm believer that one should know how to make pie crust from scratch. However, I don’t think you have to do it every time you make a pie!

Traditionally cherry pie uses almond extract but I like to live life on the edge……..I used vanilla!  I love how it gave the tart cherries a smooth creamy taste!
