Lovable delights!
With valentine’s day around the corner, people are frantically going around buying presents for their loved ones. You can save yourself the trouble of finding the perfect gift and just make things easier by making one yourself. With that thought in mind, these heart shaped cherry hand pies are the perfect way of saying “I love You”.
This recipe has a soft, sweet and sour cherry filling which perfectly complements the crunch of the pastry which covers it. The sweet and sour filing is made from canned cherries which makes the filling e faster and easier to make. When it comes to the crust, all you have to do is cut it in the right shape, fill it and bake it to perfection.
