Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cherries, pitted
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon optional liqueur (e.g., kirsch or cherry brandy)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pit the cherries, discarding any stems and pits.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the pitted cherries, cooled simple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 4
If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of liqueur for enhanced flavor and to help with texture consistency.
Step 5
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any solids for an ultra-smooth sorbet base.
Step 6
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Step 7
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for 20-30 minutes, until thickened and creamy.
Step 8
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours for a firmer texture.
Step 9
Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your Summer Cherry Sorbet!
