Tart Cherry Pie

For today’s cherry pie I use canned pitted tart cherries sweetened with sugar & flavored with a splash of cherry liqueur. I made this pie extra special for Valentine’s Day by getting cute with the crust.

Add the butter and shortening and pulse about 10 -12 times until the fat is cut into the flour mixture and it's pea size.

Pour in about ⅔ of the ice water and pulse a few more times until a ball begins to form, adding more water as needed. Be careful not to overmix.

Scrape dough onto the counter, divide it in two and form into two flat discs. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
