We think the phrase “as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie” needs an update to include this supercharged version of summer's true superstar: the cherry pie.

We use a three-stage baking process that guarantees a crisp, evenly browned crust. To ensure the filling survives the extended bake time, instead of using cornstarch, we use clear jel, a modified cornstarch that's way more heat resistant. The combo of sour cherries, cherry juice, lemon juice, clear jel, and citric acid creates a creamy, tart, and bright filling packed with cherry flavor (and color!).
