National Cherry Pie Day: Chocolate Cherry Pie

So today is National Cherry Pie Day, but since it's winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, I'm not sure why it's in February at all. Can't get local fresh cherries. My markets carry cherries from Mexico and countries in South America, so I could make something fresh. This doesn't sit quite right with me, since I like to buy local to reduce the carbon footprint.

However, if you have fresh cherries, I suggest you make Chocolate Cherry Pie today. This recipe is from Local Lemons, one of my favorite websites.
