Are you looking for the perfect summer treat? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Sour cherry sorbet is a delicious and refreshing way to cool down on a hot summer day. It’s also incredibly easy to make! With just a few ingredients and a few steps, you can have a delicious sorbet in no time. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those leftover cherries you have in the fridge. So, let’s get started and make a delicious sour cherry sorbet!

Ingredients

To make this delicious cherry sorbet, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 3 cups of sour cherries, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice
• 1/4 cup of orange juice
• 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

The first step is to combine the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, almond extract (if using), and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture has simmered for 10 minutes, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a 9×13 inch baking dish and place it in the freezer. Let the mixture freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Once the mixture has frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw for 10 minutes. Once the mixture is thawed, transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Once the sorbet is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Once the sorbet is frozen, it’s ready to be served! Enjoy!

Tips

Here are a few tips to make the perfect sour cherry sorbet:

• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can also freeze the mixture in a 9×13 inch baking dish and use a fork to stir it every hour or so while it’s freezing. This will give you a delicious sorbet without having to use an ice cream maker.
• If you like a sweeter sorbet, you can add a bit more sugar to the mixture before blending. Start with an additional 1/4 cup and adjust to taste.
• If you don’t have any almond extract, you can also use a few drops of vanilla extract instead.

Serving Suggestions

Sour cherry sorbet is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of other treats. Here are a few ideas for serving your sorbet:

• Top with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Top with toasted almonds and a drizzle of honey.
• Serve with a slice of pound cake or angel food cake.

No matter how you choose to serve it, this delicious sour cherry sorbet is sure to be a hit! Enjoy!
