Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch pie crust homemade or store bought
  • 16 ounces canned black cherries well drained
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put the pie crust in a glass pie pan and refrigerate while making the filling.
  3. Toss the drained black cherries in a bowl with the lemon juice and set aside.
  4. Beat the eggs, sugar and salt with a whisk until they are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and whisk just until it is incorporated.
  5. Place the cherries in the pie crust in one even layer. Pour the sour cream mixture over the cherries and bake for 35 minutes until the topping is set.

Recipe Notes

Do not over mix the sour cream and egg mixture or the sour cream will become too thin.
