Red fruit center

Cherry filling is a sweet, thick mixture of cherries used as a filling for pies, pastries, and other desserts.

Commercial versions typically contain cherries in a syrupy, cornstarch-thickened base: She spooned cherry filling into the pie crust.

The filling may use fresh, canned, or frozen cherries, with tart varieties like Montmorency preferred for baking.
