Sugarless Cherry Pie
"I have been working on creating a cherry pie that is sweetened only with fruit juice and I think this one is pretty good! There are no processed sugars or artificial sweeteners. It is simple and quick to make and tastes very good too! For the juice concentrate, I use Old Orchard brand."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mommy of three, soon to be four and I like to cook as healthy as I know how for their little mouths (and my husband). I avoid processed sugar when at all possible and artificial sweetners at all costs. I enjoy coming up with tasty desserts that are naturally sweetend. I don't necessarily follow recipies but rather use them for inspiration. I also like to lear about new and unusual flavor combinations.
