Cherry Pie Making Tip -
Potato Starch

Potato starch can be used as a thickener for fruit pies in place of cornstarch or arrowroot. Potato starch adds no taste and will not make fruit fillings cloudy.


Cherry Pie Making Tip -
Fruit Pie

Make sure the pies juices are bubbling thickly all over so the cornstarch will absorb liquid and thicken the filling.
