2 cans (20 ounces each) red pitted sour cherries
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter

Drain the cherries. To the juice from one can add the sugar and flour which have been mixed together. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and is thickened. Add butter, the drained cherries from both cans, and cool.

Line a 9-inch pie pan with pastry, build up the edge with the fingers, then add the cherries, the almond extract and cinnamon sprinkled over the cherries. Cover with the top crust.

Bake about 15 minutes in a hot oven (450 degrees F), then reduce the temperature to 350 F. and bake about 30 minutes longer.
