Description
Gerald McDonald offers premium quality red cherry puree that is perfect for various food applications. This rich and luscious fruit puree is made from ripe and juicy red cherries that are a natural source of essential nutrients. Red cherries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fibre, that are essential for a healthy diet. This versatile fruit puree is perfect for use in ice creams, sorbets, bakery products, jams, and sauces.
Our red cherry puree is a deep red, turbid, and viscous liquid that has a characteristic aroma and flavour of ripe red cherries. We offer our puree in aseptic bags-in-boxes that come in 20kg sizes, and we can also provide customer-specific packaging upon request.
As the largest independent juice supplier and blender in the UK, we have been sourcing and supplying high-quality ingredients since 1917. At Gerald McDonald, we are committed to providing our customers with the best ingredients possible. We source our ingredients from audited and GFSI-approved suppliers, and we are happy to provide samples for comparison.
Our purpose-built blending facilities and warehouses are located in Basildon, England, giving us easy access to the UK ports of Felixstowe, Tilbury, and the London Gateway. We can process, blend, store, and deliver juices, concentrates, herbs, spices, and essential oils to customers in the UK and worldwide. We have no minimum order quantity (MOQ), and we can handle urgent orders with short delivery times.
We are proud to hold various certifications, including BRC, Kosher, Halal Juice, and Organic. Our fully computer-controlled facility allows us to produce customized blends of concentrates and purees, along with other dry or liquid components such as flavours, colours, stabilizers, food acids, and gums. Our mixing tanks have capacities ranging from 1,000L to 26,000L, all with stirrers, are on load cells, and are made from 316-grade stainless steel.
Our hygiene and cleanliness standards are maintained through fully automated CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilization in Place), and we have a dedicated station for cleaning returned IBCs. We have a new product development team that works with clients throughout the supply process and can match, optimize, and scale blends depending on client requirements. We can undertake trial blending work for clients in our laboratory or factory, all at no additional charge.

Glossary
Aseptic Concentrate
Concentrate is heated to destroy any micro-organisms and is then filled into large sterile bags under aseptic conditions and sealed. It does not need to be stored frozen for micro-biological reasons but prolonged storage at high temperatures leads to a reduction in product quality regarding the colour of red fruits.
Frozen Concentrate
This generally refers to the product, which is not sterile and is stored below -15°C in drums and below -7°C in bulk.
Pulp Sediment Concentrate
In cloudy juices, particularly citrus, cellular matter will sediment during storage. The amount of sedimentation can be quantified by centrifugation of the juice under standardised conditions and then reading the resulting volume of sediment.
Puree
All of the juice and a large proportion of the fibrous matter naturally found in the fruit are maintained. The insoluble matter is broken up to pass through a fine sieve to produce a smooth liquid thicker than the juice equivalent. Puree is available as both a concentrate and single strength.
Clarified
Juices can be clear or cloudy. Clarified juices are prepared usually by a combination of enzymatic pre-treatment followed by filtration of cloudy juices. These clarified juices tend to be less flavoursome than their cloudy counterparts due to the extra processing.
Cloudy/Peel Extract
Cloudy concentrates are specialised citrus products manufactured by extracting de-oiled peel and pulp residues with hot water with the addition of pectolytic enzymes. The filtered, extracted cloudy liquid is then pasteurized and concentrated to 50°Brix.
Comminute
Comminute is a whole fruit puree. All of the outer layers of the fruit are intentionally included generally by mechanically processing them to a pulp like consistency and incorporating them with juice. Only citrus fruits are comminuted. Comminutes cannot be consumed directly but are used in the formulation of drinks primarily in citrus squashes. Comminute is declared on the pack as a mix of fruit/juice content or just fruit content.
Compounds
A blend of juices, flavours, colours, acids, stabilisers – often made for ease of use at soft drink production sites.
Packaging
Customer specific packaging upon request.
Our packaging options include:
Aseptic bags
Drums
Jerry cans
1000L rigid plastic IBCs
1000L aseptic bins
Tankers
In collaboration with our NPD, we are able to produce exclusive fruit mixes based on customer requests.
