Modern Notes
- This pie is a lot better warm than cold. The Instruction to serve warm is really important – David S
- I used fresh cherries that were relatively large, which I think was the cause of structural issues I had. Consider using smaller cherries or cutting the cherries up before adding them to the pie dish. – David S
