Election Day! American Cherry Pie

2008_11_03-Pie.jpgWhat's more quintessentially American - cherry or apple pie? Hard to say, especially when you've got George Washington on one side and Johnny Appleseed on the other. This dramatic cherry version comes from reader Stephanie. Read on for another photo, the recipe for her Election Cherry Pie, and links to all our election food coverage so far.

 
 

2008_11_04-Pie.jpgStephanie's Election Cherry Pie is an adaptation of her Buckeye Cherry Pie from last winter's Bittersweet Baking Contest. She won an Honorable Mention for Best Bittersweet Story. (College sports were involved.)

Cherries are native to Asia while apples are native to here, I vote apple---still the pie is impressive.

No, I'm wrong apples are native to Asia too so neither one is very American.

Hmm - maybe sweet potato pie should displace both?
