This does things that you can't do with a pie filling. It's much more concentrated than pie filling. A little will flavor your pastry. It's perfect for donuts, sweet rolls, and fillings for sandwich cookies, cupcakes, and to flavor frostings.

It's what we use in our stuffed French toast.

Your desserts will be fantastic. And this is two pounds of filling to make a lot of desserts. Leftovers will keep for six months in the refrigerator.  

Questions about Pastry Fillings

  • Is this what pastry chefs use? Yes. We buy it wholesale from a baker's supply company.
  • Do I need a pastry bag to use it? No. It comes in a plastic pouch is shaped like a pastry bag. Clip the corner and squeeze just as you would a pastry bag.
  • How big is it? It comes in a two-pound pack. Since it's concentrated, you'll make a lot of pastries.
  • What do I do with the extras? To store leftovers, fold the clipped corner over, secure it with a paper clip, and refrigerate the leftover filling. Use the leftover fillings within six months. 


How Others Use this Filling

"Mmmmm… so good! I use the cherry filling in thumbprint cookies, top petite cherry cheesecakes, filling between layers of cake…the possibilities are endless. When I make cake layers, I make a whipped cream icing with almond extract. The flavor is a complement to the cherry filling." Nancy G. 

"I have worked in a professional bakery for over twenty years and have used the same pastry fillings. These are the best you can buy, but I wish you would carry the seedless black raspberry; it is the hardest to find."   Pam Early

How to Make Pecan-Crusted Cherry-Stuffed French Toast

This takes stuffed French toast one step further. In addition to having a filling between slices of bread, it has a crunchy outer coating. The egg-washed sandwich is pressed into pecan pieces until there is a nut coating front and back and then the French toast is cooked on the griddle until it is no longer soggy.

The heat toasts the pecans. So, you have a combination of tastes and textures: a soft bread custard, a cherry filling, and toasted pecans. That’s pretty good stuff.

For the cherry filling, you can use cherry pie filling, cherry jam, or cherry pastry filling.

The pecans are “bakers’ chop,” less than ¼-inch. You can use the bread of your choice. We use a soft, white bread like Potato Honey Bread.
