About Cherry filling

Cherry filling is a prepared cherry mixture used inside baked goods and other desserts. It is generally cooked or otherwise thickened so it can be spooned or spread without flowing like juice.

Its color ranges from red to deep purple, and it may contain whole, halved, or crushed cherries in a glossy, soft gel. Sweetness, tartness, thickness, and the use of starch or other thickeners vary among recipes and commercial products.
