Local Cherry Product Prepares for International Debut

"A group of sisters is taking their long-standing family recipe, and marketing it to cherry lovers all over the world.

It's happening on the Old Mission Peninsula in Grand Traverse County - the headquarters for what's becoming the next popular cherry product.

It all started more than 60 years ago, on the Herkner Family Farm. It's a stovetop recipe for cherry topping, and the family is now serving up a second helping. "
