Cherry pie from The Best Recipe (page 489) by Cook's Illustrated Magazine

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    A soupy mess. I had sweet cherries, so I used the smaller amount of tapioca as directed, but guess I should have gone for the "firm filling" amount of 5 T. The flavor was not my favorite either - think it was the brandy and allspice. In addition, the recipe does not call for egg wash or milk for the top, and I ended up baking the pie an extra 10 min with the heat cranked up for better browning.
