Fabulous Cherry Pie
"This cherry pie is quite unique. Instead of the usual crust topping, it is topped with a coconut custard. It is from my late mother's recipe file and was given to her by one of her sisters. Enjoy!"

This pie is exceptional! The almond flavoring really does enhance the cherry flavor! The topping is attractive and tasty...a wonderful change from run-of-the-mill cherry pie. Ease of preparation....a breeze!! My topping wasn't very custard-like, though. I dutifully poured it all atop the rest of the filling. Much of it ran over during baking, which might account for my results. Nonetheless, this one is a "keeper," and the friend for whom I made it consumed it with gusto!!! Thank you!!! -

I have a variety of jobs. I do graphic design, work as a desk clerk at a motel and do bookkeeping for a local newspaper. I have three cats -- a calico, an orange tabby and an ocicat. I enjoy singing in the church choir and bowling. My all-time favorite cookbook is "The Famous Brand Names Cookbook." It has all sorts of yummy recipes, but I particularly enjoy the "Margarita Pie" recipe. I've modified it somewhat, so you might see it soon on Recipezaar!
