Ingredients

2 (16-ounce) cans red cherries pitted tart
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
dash salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon mace ground (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon food color red
frozen pie crust
1 egg
2 tablespoons water cold
sugar

Directions:

Drain cherries, reserving 1 cup juice. Set cherries aside.

In a large saucepan, stir 3/4 cup of the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in 1 cup cherry juice until smooth. Stirring, bring to a boil and boil for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened and clear. Remove from heat.

Stir in remaining 3/4 cup sugar, butter, optional mace, vanilla, almond extract and food color until blended. Stir in cherries set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Fit loosely into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour cooled filling into pie shell. Roll remaining dough to 1/8 -inch thickness and place overfilling. Trim both crusts 1/2 inch beyond rim of pie plate. Fold edges underseal and flute. Cut a decorative design in center of pie to permit steam to escape.

Beat egg with water. Brush top of pastry with egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar.
