1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon of salt

6 tablespoons of margarine

4 tablespoons of very cold water 

Ingredients for the filling:

500g cherries (more or less)

2 tablespoons of margarine

1/2 cup of brown sugar

Preparation:

1. Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the margarine with a fork and add the water until you get a compact mass.

2. Put the mass in a covered bowl and keep it in the fridge.

3. Wash the cherries and de-stone them. Put them in a bowl and add the sugar and the margarine. Let it rest while finishing the preparation of the dough..

4. Put the mass on a baking tray covered with a greaseproof paper and stretch it. Put the cherries in the middle and 'close' the edges to keep the fruit together.

5. Sprinkle the edges with some brown sugar and bake it in the oven at 180ºC for about 40 minutes.
