This Cherry selection empowers Western Canadian hospitality operators to deliver an uncompromisingly authentic fruit experience that resonates with the nostalgic yet quality-focused palate of the modern consumer.

Why Choose J. Hungerford Smith Cherry Topping?
Real Cherry Texture
Unlike thin, dyed syrups, JHS includes actual fruit pieces. This provides the "visual cue" of quality and the authentic mouthfeel that customers expect from a premium dessert program.
Labor-Saving Efficiency
Eliminate the time-consuming process of pitting and cooking down fresh cherries. JHS is perfectly balanced and ready to pour, reducing your labor costs and prep-time significantly.
Vibrant "Ruby" Aesthetics
The rich, deep-red syrup provides a stunning visual contrast against white dairy or golden crusts, driving "Instagrammable" moments that organically market your establishment.
Excellent Portion Control
The #10 can is designed for high-volume use. When paired with a professional pump, you can control your food costs to the penny on every sundae served.
Consistent Year-Round Quality

Frequently Asked Questions — J. Hungerford Smith Cherry Topping
Where can I buy J. Hungerford Smith Cherry Topping in Canada?
You can purchase individual #10 cans or full cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to restaurants and scoop shops across Canada with no membership fees required.
Does this topping contain whole cherries?
It contains a mixture of whole and crushed cherry pieces suspended in a rich syrup, providing a thick, "fruit-forward" consistency that is much more premium than a simple syrup.
Does this product need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Once the can is opened, transfer any unused topping to a food-safe, airtight container and refrigerate. This ensures the fruit remains fresh and the syrup maintains its clarity.
Is J. Hungerford Smith Cherry Topping Gluten-Free?
While made with high-quality ingredients, you should refer to the specific batch label for the most current allergen information. It is certified Kosher Dairy.
Can I use a pump with this can?
Absolutely. The #10 can is the standard size for industrial syrup pumps. For best results, ensure the pump is calibrated for "thick" fruit toppings to allow the cherry pieces to pass through easily.
How many servings are in one #10 can?
One 115 oz. can provides approximately 75-80 servings of 1.5 oz. each. This makes it a highly cost-effective premium topping for high-volume service environments.
What is the difference between this and "Maraschino" cherries?
Maraschino cherries are preserved whole in a light syrup primarily for garnishing. This topping is a concentrated fruit preparation designed to be poured over desserts, featuring crushed fruit and a thicker syrup base.
Is it suitable for flavoring milkshakes?
Yes. It is an excellent choice for adding a "Real Fruit" dimension to milkshakes. Simply blend 1-2 oz. with your ice cream and milk base for a signature cherry shake.
Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?
By ordering locally, you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2-5 days—essential for maintaining consistent inventory in Western Canada.
