Quick Cherry Pie
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For making a quick cherry pie, you can use either fresh or frozen cherries. By the way, we'll also need cherry juice, which you can extract from the berries or simply use store-bought. Make a classic shortcrust pastry—ready-made dough works fine too; I usually do this to save time. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
