The Cherry Hut

"The Cherry Hut recipe for pie is simple and basic. Of course, the cherries are from local trees."
Michael Stern






"Cheery Jerry, the cherry pie-faced boy, has been the mascot of this roadside stand for decades. For a short while years ago, the ventilation for the top crust of each pie was a quartet of cuts that were made to look like Jerry's eyes, nose and mouth. The artistry was abandoned because when the pies baked, the cherry juice leaked and it sometimes looked like Jerry was suffering a facial hemorrhage."

"Health drink, Northern Michigan style: sweet Cherry Ade."
Michael Stern



"Sugar is heaped on tart cherries to make the filling for a Cherry Hut pie."
Michael Stern



"Each pie is made by hand from a recipe that dates back to the earliest days of the Cherry Hut, some eighty years ago."
