George Washington's story is all about honesty and being brave enough to tell the truth. When he was young, as the legend goes, he chopped down his father's cherry tree, but didn't hesitate to admit what he did.
With cherries in mind, here's a delicious and easy way to make a cherry pie. There's no baking involved, and it's ready in 10 minutes, so it's perfect for younger cooks. As an adult, you can open the can of cherry pie filling in advance to minimize exposure to sharp edges.
