Now that Balaton Cherry season is here, we thought it would be fitting to post some great Balaton Cherry recipes (Montmorency cherries will work, too) for you to try.
Balaton cherries are an excellent choice for recipes calling for Morello cherries. These cherries are very popular in traditional Eastern European cooking. The Balaton is somewhat firmer than the Montmorency cherry (the traditional pie cherry) and the juice and flesh are both darker. Their firmer texture and “sweet-tart” flavor makes them a favorite of gourmet chefs.
Let us know how they taste and please feel free to share any of your own recipes with us. Thanks and enjoy!!
