very good and simple. I used splenda instead of sugar and excluded the butter for a low calorie version of this recipe. Tapioca was a great idea for a low calorie cherry glaze. The only calories I couldn't avoid was the crust.

Yum!!!!! I accidentally didn't buy enough fresh cherries, so I used 2 1/3 cup pitted fresh cherries and used frozen strawberries to fill the rest. Mixed the fruits together, added a bit of water and about 2 tbsp. cornstarch and cooked the fruit on the stovetop until thickened, about 10 minutes. The added vanilla and almond really make it great; they're subtle but they add so much. Wonderful!

This recipe is so easy & yummy! It is worth taking the time to pit fresh cherries. Alternative natural taste insead of using tapioca: Mash cherries & add 1/4 cup water so that the cherry liquid equals 3/4 cup, Add smashed cherry liquid to a small pan with 2 1/2 Tbls Cornstarch, 1 cup of white sugar, 1/8 tsp salt. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens/gels for 2-3 minutes. Add the extracts, before you pour into pie shell.

I decided to make this pie based on the high rating it received. It turned out good, with a few changes. I only used half the sugar because my cherries were sweet and yummy and I didn't want the pie to be too sugar-y. I also think it could have used a little more "thickness" from either flour or cornstarch (not in the recipe). The tapioca wasn't enough. I can't imagine how runny it would be without it. For those who don't normally care for tapioca (like me), don't worry-- you can't taste it. Finally, the 4 cups of cherries it called for didn't seem like enough. I used the 4 cups thinking it would expand with the juices and tapioca, but it could have used more. The pie was "shallow" looking and sunken in.

this is a great recipe. I have found that it is easiest to pit cherries simply by holding them (over a bucket to catch the juice and throw them into) in my left hand, slice the top with your thumbnail, and squeaze the bottom of the cherry between the fingers of your right hand, the pit pops out, any juice lost goes into the bucket, to be used in the cooking. Also, cornstarch seems to work as well as tapioca to thicken.

Having never made a pie before (and failing to consult my mom first), I didn't know why the tapioca was necessary (I dislike the taste of tapioca & another reader said she didn't use it & it turned out fine). Needless to say my pie was SOUPY, but my tasters raved about my "cherries jubilee" :) The fresh cherries made all the difference! I pitted them with an unused, clean air-pump needle (for filling a volleyball, for example) as the straw & paperclip ideas didn't work too well for me. It worked amazingly well! I inserted the needle into the opening from the stem, loosened up the pit by circling around it, then popped it out from the other side...very little juice was lost and the knob on the other end was a great grip!

Fabulous and easy. If I could give it ten stars I would; using the fresh sour cherries gave a tart/sweet taste that was not cloying like some cherry pies can be. My husband of 25 years said it was the best cherry pie he'd ever had!

this was my first attempt at making a cherry pie and it turned out amazing! tart cherries weren't available yet, so i used sweet. i was warned that sweet cherries have a tendency to result in "cherry pie soup", but the tapioca kept that from happening. i used the crisco pie crust recipe, which worked well with this. the almond and vanilla were a nice addition - the sweet cherries might have been a little dull without that little touch. thanks! i can't wait to make it again.

Made this for Father's Day. It was the first cherry pie I've made. It was very easy and my dad loved it. I gave it a four because I didn't get to try it; everyone ate it before I could have a piece.

This recipe is fantastic. I took it to a party for a coworker and got compliments all around. Even those who swore they hated cherry pie loved this. Absolutely worth using every cherry season.

Enjoyable, but when using fresh cherries you may want to try mixing them in a pot over medium heat to get more of the juices and have a more glazier type texture to the filling.

it was a good pie, but the only reason i gave it a 3 was because there was WAY too much sugar in this pie, i would only put in 1/2 a cup that way the taste of the cherries would be stronger instead of so sweet.

This is a fairly standard cherry pie recipe. The pastry is very good. However, the addition of vanilla to the cherries gives the pie a commercial taste that negates the fresh cherries. I also prefer a runny pie to the gloppy one produced by the instant tapioca. Keep it simple!

My first Cherry Pie. Simply awesome. A cherry pitter (tool) was much easier than using a knife to pit each cherry. I will definitely make this again!
