Balaton Dried Cherries

Definitely a splurge at over $1.00 per ounce, but a distinctive flavor. Great in salads and sauces or just part of delicious trail mix on a hike.

I am not a dried fruit eater. My bro put these in some oatmeal he made for me., so, okay, I took a bite.... Magical! I went home and ordered some and I eat them by the handful!

Best flavored cherry of my life! The texture smooth, tartness-sour perfect, chewy.

These plump flavorful dried cherries have become my new obsession...use them daily in my oatmeal and add them to chicken as well as leafy green salads. Also added them to a cranberry chutney I made for the Holidays...big raves!

Don't get me wrong - I love Montmorencys. But the Balatons are a whole different level of delicious - big and plump, they have a deeper, almost spicy flavor that makes me think of a big, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon. Definite tart and tangy bite, but still sweet - in short, amazing!

I received these cherries in a gift package. The box arrived in perfect condition, very carefully and beautifully packed. The cherries are delicious. You can eat them alone as a snack, add them to yoghurt or ice cream or use them for baking.

These cherries are very tart, leathery-firmness, and grainy compared to regular cherries. These, fresh or reconstituted, I imagine would be the perfect pie cherry!

We have loved Balatons for a decade after a Michigan vacation. Now we give them as gifts and everyone raves about them.

These taste marvelous, but I wish they came without added sugar and oil.
