Macaroon Cherry Pie
In summer, I use homegrown cherries in this amazing pie with a crunchy coconut topping. But canned tart cherries yield a dessert that’s almost as delicious. I always bake this pie around Presidents’ Day or Valentine’s Day, but it’s popular with my family the whole year through. —Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia
