BALATON® RECIPIES

"I have been testing Balaton® tart cherry in Michigan since its introduction in 1984. Through the years, family and friends have shared in my excitement for this new variety and have provided many of the recipes below. Certainly experiment with your own recipes. Just add a little sugar to Balaton® fruit and it is a wonderful ingredient."

"Jó étvágyat"
(Good appetite in Hungarian)
