A favorite of cowboys on cattle drives, this classic cherry pie was often cooked in a cast-iron skillet over a campfire. The “cookie” (chuck wagon cook) substituted honey for sugar when the chuck box ran out, and the recipe has remained that way since. Gather ’round the ‘hands and serve this pie with heaping scoops of vanilla ice cream. Watch them dig in with gusto.

Ingredients:

Pastry for a double-crust pie

Egg white, melted butter or flour (optional)
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cherry juice
1 1/4 cups honey
3 cups red sour cherries, pitted
1 tablespoon butter
