"I needed a quick dessert today using a random box cherry chip cake mix I had in my pantry. I made my own cherry pie filling from two cans of dark cherries I had in my pantry (bought cheap last week fo..." See morer .99 a can at Grocery Outlet) with water, lemon juice, sugar, a bit of vanilla extract and cornstarch.
