How I stop cherries leaking from pies

Ingredients

• Pitted cherries – 500 g
• Sugar – 150–180 g
• Starch – 1 tbsp

Method

1. Step 1

   There is a cherry filling that does not leak.

2. Step 2

   To stop the juice leaking, cook the cherry filling from the film.

3. Step 3

   Put the pitted cherries in a saucepan. Mix the sugar with the starch and add it to the cherries. Stirring constantly, bring to the boil over a medium heat, then simmer for about 1 minute.

4. Step 4

   Leave to cool, and it's ready to fill pies, tarts, crescent rolls and other bakes. It's good just eaten with a spoon, too!

5. Step 5

   The pies will taste wonderful, and you will not be scraping cherry juice off the tray.
