Hi Kathy — it sounds like you're in for some extra tasty cherry hand pies soon! If you can let the cherries thaw out that will help. Adding a 1/4 teaspoon of extra thickener per cup of fruit will help with the juices. As for the sugar, that really depends on your personal taste. Because the cherries are tart, you could up the sugar from 1/3 cup to 2/3 cup if you prefer a sweeter filling. It could take some trial and error to find the right amount of sugar to suit your tastes, but that's a good place to start. Happy baking! Annabelle@KAF
