Although Balaton cherries have grown for years in the towns and villages in Hungary, Dr. Amy Iezzoni of Michigan State University recently introduced this delicious cherry to the U.S.

The Balaton cherry is larger, firmer, and significantly sweeter than the red tart cherries traditionally used in cherry pies. This combined with the Balaton cherry's deep, natural red pigment make it a favorite for cooks and pastry-chefs alike. With Balaton cherries, you won't need to add red food coloring or as much sugar to your favorite pie recipe ever again!
