Frantic Friday!!! (Cherry Pie Filling)

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..
