Description
A refreshing cherry sorbet that captures the essence of summer with just four simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, creating a simple syrup.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Puree the pitted cherries with the cooled syrup and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour it into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the sorbet to a container and let it freeze for at least 120 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve in parfait glasses or bowls, garnished with cherries or mint leaves. For a twist, create a sorbet float with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
