Ingredients:
5     cups fresh or frozen tart cherries (about 2 pounds), pitted
1/2     cup granulated sugar
12     packets heat-stable sugar substitute (such as Splenda)
2     Tbsp quick-cooking tapioca
1/2     tsp almond extract
1    pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie (used refrigerated pie crust)

Directions:
Combine tart cherries, sugar, sugar substitutes, tapioca, and almond extract in a large bowl; mix well. Let stand 15 minutes. It is not necessary to thaw frozen tart cherries before using.

Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Fill with cherry mixture. Adjust top crust over filling, and cut slits for steam to escape.

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 55-60 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If necessary, cover edge with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
