...When it comes to making a pie crust from scratch! I will admit I have never enjoyed baking. I have not had the patience and I make a huge mess in the kitchen. Well, for some reason over the last couple of months I have caught myself searching for homemade dessert recipes. After flagging pages and printing recipes online, I decided to write down the most common ingredients to pick up on my next grocery run. I also asked my close friend Candace to teach me everything she knows. She is an amazing baker! We had our first lesson on how to make a homemade cherry pie. We used the cherries from Candace’s cherry tree. YUM! Candace, Allison and I had a fun “girls morning” laughing, baking and taking pictures. One day I hope that I will enjoy baking as much as I LOVE cooking!

Filling - Mix tart pitted cherries, sugar, salt, and flour.
Mix well and set aside. |
 |
Cut butter into salt and flour until crumbly. Add water.
1 T at a time. Make sure to use ice cold water. |
 |
| Use hands to form ball. |
 |
| Cut in two halves. One for bottom crust and one for the top crust. |
 |
| Roll out dough. It is good for it to be a little flaky! |
 |
Put bottom crust in pan.
As you can see I had some problems. |
 |
| Pour filling on top of pie crust. |
 |
Top with small chunks of butter.
|
 |
| Roll dough to form the top . Cut strips for top of crust. |
 |
Layer strips to make a basket weave.
Finish off edges. |

look like a million bucks, but he said it was a keeper! |
