mmegaeraIt is 10:20 am on Thanksgiving morning. The cherry pie is out of the oven. The pumpkin pie will be out of the oven around 11 am. I am due at my friend L's at 1 pm, so at least they'll be cool enough to handle without burning my hands or needing oven mitts.
Whew!
I can't believe I bought the wrong kind of cherries, though. Opened the first can, thought, wow, those are dark, then looked at the can, went oh, crap, and discovered I'd bought canned sweet cherries.
Fortunately, Albertson's was open this morning. Unfortunately, they wanted almost $5 a can (the recipe takes two cans) for pie cherries (as opposed to the discount grocery store I normally shop at which wants about $3, but which is closed on Thanksgiving).
In the thirty-plus years I've been making cherry pie, this is the very first time I've ever bought the wrong kind of cherries. Anyone want some canned sweet cherries?
