Cherries and Berries

FANTASTIC BALATON CHERRIES


It's a great time here in Michigan. My friends up on the Mission Peninsula in Northern Michigan are about to harvest this year's Balaton Cherries. http://www.hrt.msu.edu/balaton.html

Balaton's are a delicious Morello Cherry, grown in only a few places in the US. They are tart with a bit of sweetness, and firmer than most tart cherries, which are generally used just for baking. The Balaton is also great for baking, but also fabulous for eating. They're only around for one week, so order from Earthy Delights right now because the season will be over in just one short week.

WILD HUCKLEBERRIES -- AN AMERICAN TREAT

And from the West Coast we have delicious, scrumptious huckleberries. A wild cousin of the blueberry, the huckleberry grows all over the Northwest. When they grow, they grow in great abundance, but often in remote, hard to get to locations. Some of our harvesters have sent us some and we're happy to have them in house.

If you're lucky enough to find some locally, go out and pick your own. If not try www.earthy.com and they'll send some to you
