Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mama used to make this for me one of my favorites but she would always give me the messed up looking one. Miss you Mama
My mom loved making this pie and also loved fresh cherry pies and tarts. Fresh cherries came from Nonie's yard. After picking we would pit and wash them. My mom would take over from there and turn the cherries into the best cherry pies.
