Hi Renate. So long as you can chop your cherries up a bit, a heaping tablespoon of filling will still be fine. You can make the crust ahead and freeze it. Put it in the fridge to thaw out the night before. It may have a greyish hue. This is normal, it's just the dough oxidizing, and you won't really be able to tell once it's baked. Annabelle@KAF
