Well now you can enjoy this little slice of heaven by following this recipe. Serve it to your family and friends. It will just melt in their mouths.

Pantsie, your mama is not much of a cherry pie eater but this one was delish! You are really learning that 'feel' for a pastry to bake out flakey and light. Way to go!
