How to Make Cherry Sorbet

  1. Stem and pit 2 pounds of fresh cherries.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Warm over medium heat until the cherries begin to release their juices.
  3. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are very soft and cooked through.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Puree the cherry mixture, including the cooking liquid, with 1 teaspoon of almond extract (or 1 tablespoon of Kirsch) in a blender until completely smooth.
  6. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining cherry skins or seeds (optional, but recommended for a smoother sorbet).
  7. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  8. Freeze the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
