Cherry Pie

It’s cherry season!!! One of my favourite fruits and my god I indulge when they are in season! Each year I make a homemade cherry pie and this one was the best so far! I’m not going to pretend I’m a baker, the shortcrust pastry failed so I won’t share that with you but the filling, now that was incredible!
I try to make it healthy but honestly, if you only eat this once or twice a year why not just enjoy it for what it really is, a sweet, juicy, cherry pie!

I’ve created 4 different types using seasonal vegetables, but go with your style and use whatever you have in the fridge.
