How to Prepare

Begin by washing and pitting your cherries. In a saucepan, mix the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once the filling has thickened and is bubbling, remove it from heat and mix in the vanilla for an extra layer of flavor.
