REDNECK RITA'S FAMOUS CHERRY PIE This is a prize winning recipe for one of the best pies ever made. The pie crust recipe is from www.myhomecooking.net. You need to start with canned sour pie cherries, they are in the canned fruit section at the super market. (Don't use canned Cherry Pie Filling, that is for the ho- hum cooks). We go for the real stuff. You know~ old timey cooks who crave praise and attention. Here we go!
