I didn't have the liqueur so I used 2 tsp extract. The frozen cherries I used were so dry with all the cornstarch and sugar, that three tbsp of liqueur would not have helped. I think next time I will leave out the cornstarch almost completely. One pie would have been better than the two recommended and I used sliced almonds in the crumb crust instead of coconut and it was delicious. I hope to make this pie again soon with some alterations and it will be a five star! Thanks for the recipe! -
This was my adopted recipe before I sent it back. I am not allowed to answer your zaar mail. I made this and found there was too much for 1 pie, would make 2 pies easily. I didn't like the topping.My personal opinion and if I had kept it I was going to try a different type of topping. The topping never did brown in 10 minutes. I turned the oven to 400* and put it on broil for a couple minutes. I think it was the flour in the topping that made it taste ucky. Maybe nuts would have been better. The cherry filling was good.
