Cherry Pie, Billy Boy
- 2 (16 oz.) cans sour pitted cherries
- 1 1/2 c. cherry juice, drained from the cherries

- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell and 1 top crust
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar (for top of pie)
- Drain juice from the cherries and measure out 1 1/2 cups juice. Sift sugar, salt and cornstarch and mix with the juice. Place mixture in the top of a double boiler and cook for 5 minutes to thicken. Stir to prevent sticking.
