     Title: County Fair Cherry Pie
Categories: Five, Pies, Pastry, Fruits
     Yield: 6 servings

 1 1/4 c  Sugar
     2 tb Corn starch
       ds Salt
     4 c  Tart cherries; pitted
          Dough for double-crust pie
          Confectioners' sugar

 In a large saucepan, combine sugar, corn starch, and salt; stir in
 cherries. Let stand 30 minutes.

 Cook and stir cherry mixture over medium heat until mixture boils
 and starts to thicken.

 Pour into jars or freezer containers, leaving 1/2" headspace.
 Cool. Cover with lids; refrigerate or freeze.

 Yield: 3 cups filling for one pie.

 To make pie:

 Set oven @ 375°F/190°C. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half
 of dough to a 1/8" thick circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim
 crust to 1/2" beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Add thawed filling.
 Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 40-45
 minutes. Cover edges during the last 20 minutes to prevent
 overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack.

 Meanwhile, roll remaining dough to 1/8" thick circle; cut stars
 using floured star-shaped cutters. Place on an ungreased baking
 sheet. Bake for 7-11 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a
 wire rack to cool.

 To serve, dust stars with confectioners' sugar; place over pie.
 Lightly dust edges of pie with confectioners' sugar.
