Preheat Oven Temperature: 425 degrees
For the Filling:
48 ounces Frozen Dark Sweet Cherries
Zest of 1 Orange
Juice of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 2/3 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons Butter
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except corn starch and butter. Simmer on medium-low for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly add in the corn starch, stirring rapidly to avoid lumping. Melt in the butter and then allow the sauce to cool.
For the Pies:
2 Refrigerated Pie Crusts
Cherry Filling
On a lightly floured pastry mat, unroll the room temperature crusts. Cut each crust into quarters. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Fill each pastry with 3-4 Tablespoons of filling, distributing evenly among the 8 pies. Make sure to place the filling in the middle of each pastry to allow for folding. Fold in opposite sides of the crust, tucking in the corners as you go; repeat folding the other way to create a little box around the filling. Gently slice 2 vent holes in the top of each pie to allow for the steam to escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes and then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
