The Fresh Cherry Balsamic Pie is a sweet and tasty dessert made from fresh bing cherries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, and water, all baked in a crusty pie crust. The balsamic vinegar adds a complex, rich flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the cherries for an irresistible combination. Fresh cherry pies are popular summertime desserts, and this recipe is sure to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. The pie is easy to make, but it does require some patience and time to pit all the cherries, plus it's worth it. You can enjoy this Fresh Cherry Balsamic Pie on its own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Begin by pitting the cherries and combining them with the sugar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are tender and the mixture has thickened, for about 10-15 minutes.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the hot water and flour or cornstarch. Add the mixture to the cherry mixture, stirring well to combine.
4.	Layer a 9-inch pie pan with pie crust, and pour the cherry mixture over it. Add the other pie crust on top of the cherry mixture, and crimp the edges together.
5.	Cut small slits on the top of the pie crust, and cover it with foil. Place the pie pan into the oven and bake it for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
6.	Let the cherry pie cool for 15 minutes before serving.
