Beth- I just watched the episode and she only calls for 1/2 cup of lemon juice!

On her show, Paula said 1 1/2 cups of fresh lemon juice. I thought it was a little much, but I put it in anyway. Waaay too much lemon juice. It was so tart that it hurt my jaws. I see on here that she calls for just 1/2 cup. I taped the show, so I did it exactly the way she said to. The pie never set. I kept it in the fridge overnight and it just never set. Maybe if the lemon juice is reduced like it says in this recipe, it might set better because it's less liquid. I'll try it this way.

I just wanted to say, that this simple recipe of the cherry cheese pie is what i grew up making during the holidays. This is one of my fav recipes, I have even been known to mix it up with different flavor crust and toppings like choc crust or blueberry,blackberry toppings. But, the best i have found is cherry. It seems to work the best and taste the best with just a regular crust. Not to mention its really easy to make.

Loved, loved, loved it! It is so easy to make & delicious! I even used a regular pie shell because I did not have a graham cracker crust & did not want to go to the store.....still fabulous!

I thought this pie was very good. You can really taste the lemon and the cherries have a strong flavor so a little goes a long way. It is pretty easy to make and would be great to take to a cookout. -Amanda R. , Williamsburg, VA.

This pie was delicious from top to bottom.I actually found myself eating an entire half all to myself one night. The only thing that i do wish for is that the sweetness level was not so high simply because my husband has diabetes, and he could not really enjoy it the way he wanted too.But all in all the pie was out of this world. I will of course be making this pie over and over again.
