Ingredients
600 g flour
250 g butter
1 pinch of salt
10-12 tbsp. water
1 vanilla pod
2 kg cherries from Val Venosta
150 g cane sugar
250 g butter
1 pinch of salt
10-12 tbsp. water
1 vanilla pod
2 kg cherries from Val Venosta
150 g cane sugar
Preparation
Cut butter into pieces and add to the flour in a bowl. Crumble butter and flour with your fingers to get a sandy dough. Split the vanilla pod, scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod with the help of a little knife and add to the dough. Add water little by little and continue kneading the dough until you get a homogeneous dough. Divide into two halves and let rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.
In the meantime, wash and stone cherries. Put them into a small pot and cook with the sugar for 15 minutes. Let cool and drain in a strainer.
Take one half of the dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 3 mm with a rolling pin. Cut 2/3 of the dough sheet into stripes of 5 mm and the remaining 1/3 into stripes of 1 cm. Plait braids with the stripes of 5 mm. Put them on a tray together with the stripes of 1 cm and let rest in the fridge while preparing the base of your pie.

Pour the cold cherries on the dough sheet, level with a spoon and decorate by alternating braids and stripes.
