Bursting with the vibrant flavours of the holiday season, this festive cherry pie is the perfect centrepiece for your seasonal celebrations🎄 Gluten Free & free from all common allergens, I hope everyone can enjoy a slice of cherry pie!
Place tapioca seeds in water and soak for 30 minutes.
30 g Tapioca Seeds (aka seed tapioca)
Heat Frozen Berries - release liquid
Add frozen cherries & cranberries, lemon juice, ginger & pumpkin spice mix to a large pot and mix well. Cover and bring to a low boil for 2 to 3 minutes to release the liquid.
860 g Frozen Sweet Dark Cherries (or variety), 150 g Frozen Cranberries, 30 mL Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed, 8 g Ginger, freshly grated, 3 g Pumpkin Spice Mix
Add Sweetness
Add cane sugar & dark brown sugar, mix well. Turn down heat until reaches a gentle simmer.
75 g Dark Brown Sugar, 80 g Cane Sugar
Add Tapioca Seeds & Reduce
Strain tapioca seeds to remove water, then add to cherry mixture. Taste test, add more sugar or spice if desired. Remember it will reduce making it taste sweeter.
Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until mixture reduces by half and thickens significantly (see video)
Cool Completely
Cool filling completely before adding to your prepared pie crust. Use an ice bath to speedily cool your filling!
Prepare Pie Crust & Add Cooled Filling
Roll the larger pie crust disk into a 12-13" circle and transfer to a 9-10" wide pie plate. The edges should hang a little over the edge of the pan. Once fully cooled, pour the cherry cranberry mixture over the bottom crust. See post above for tips and tricks to perfectly roll out & transfer your pie crust into your pie plate.

Make Pie Top & Finish Edges
See post above for guide to making a gorgeous lattice top for your pie as well as how to flute the edges.
Chill then Bake
Cover your prepared pie and cool in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake at 400°F (205°C) in the lower 1/3 of oven, uncovered for 20 minutes. Turn heat down to 325°F (163°C), rotate pie 180° and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden and cherry cranberry juice is bubbling (as seen through the lattice top).
Completely Cool & Enjoy
Allow your pie to rest and cool until the pie plate is just barely warm (at least 1 hour at room temp). This allows the filling to set completely so that you can cut and transfer each piece of pie beautifully! Enjoy ♥︎
