now in season: sour cherries + sour cherry & lime pie + four years of brooklyn supper
On the first anniversary of my relationship with Brian (commemorating our first make-out sesh, really) we were sitting at our kitchen table in the evening drinking a couple of Coronas that we’d literally scrounged change to buy, when I said, “Oh shit. It’s our anniversary.” We sighed, shrugged, and cheersed, made out a little, and then went back to drinking our beers. Which is to say, we’re bad at anniversaries. Since then, we’ve upped our game, but not by much. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when you learn that last year we missed the three year anniversary of Brooklyn Supper altogether (though we had a decent excuse), and this year it slipped by on Saturday without the slightest fanfare.

Except not really. We had LMK to dinner last night for burgers, grilled corn and cherry pie, part deux. I think Brian is going to post about the burgers and mustard later on; I want to focus on the pie.
The only change I ended up making to the recipe was to add 3 tablespoons ground instant tapioca, and the results were great, filling-wise anyway. I kind of spaced out with the crust, so it was a lot more rustic than the first cherry pie.
So, here’s the amended sour cherry pie recipe. In New York cherry season is winding down, so get cracking. I actually spent $40 at the fruit stand on Saturday because I had to buy enough sour cherries for the pie, cherries to eat, apricots and blueberries (just in), and what I am sure will be the last strawberries of summer. Early July is a magical time for fruit and I couldn’t let anything go.
