Carol F.'s winning cherry pie
"I live in New Braunfels, Texas and I am 80 years old. I have been making pies since I was 8 years old.
I used the Triple Cherry pie filling and my family went wild over the taste. I will never use any other cherry pie filling. You have a customer for life.
Just to add I have won the grand champion pie at our county fair 5 times." - Carol F.
