ReceptnaptárPita s višnjama (sour cherry filo pie with oats)
Pita s višnjama, the sour cherry pie, is a summer favourite of the Balkans, a cross between a strudel and a flat pie. This version is made with filo pastry and little sweetener, and the oats soak up the cherry juice. The tart fruit and the crisp pastry together make a light, fresh dessert. With frozen sour cherries it can be made all year round, and it stays delicious for days.

Tips
- Drain frozen sour cherries thoroughly, because too much liquid soaks the pastry.
- Score the top into slices before baking, because baked filo breaks easily.
- If the sour cherries are very tart, add a little extra sweetener, but only after tasting.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be made with sweet cherries?
Yes, but sweet cherries are sweeter, so less sweetener is needed, and a little lemon juice does them good.
How long does it keep?
Covered, for 3 days, but the pastry softens over time. Briefly warmed in the oven, it regains its crispness.
