Today was crazy at work.. I walked/ran so much that my legs, ankles and feet are killing me.. I don't know if is just me or people are more needy than normal this year.. After I left work I came home and finished dinner.. something simple tonight.. just have to say thank goodness for crock pots sometimes.. :) I did decide to do something with the Cherries that were still in the fridge.. I know.. I haven't eaten them all.. so I made Cherry Pie Filling.. it is cooling on the stove and then I will put it in a freezer bag and have it for Cherry Pie for Christmas.. I have some Granny Smith apples I need to do the same thing with in the next few days also..
Cherry Pie Filling
5 to 6 c fresh pitted cherries
1/2 c water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2/3 c sugar
4 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp almond extract
put the cherries and water in a medium to large saucepan. add the lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch.. stir well and turn the heat to medium, continue stirring and bring to a boil.. boil for 10 minutes.. let cool and either use in a pie or freeze for later use..
