Life is just a bowl of Cherry Sorbet

Saturday was the hottest day we have had this year.

Luckily for us, it also coincided with a special delivery of

Sunset Ranch Cherries!

And what did we do with our HUGE bowl of cherries?

Take one guess...

Yes, we made amazing 

Cherry Sorbet.

So easy, refreshing and
what unbelievable flavor and color...

and a few opted for the

"Murphy-style Cherry Garcia"...
(just throw in a handful of chocolate chips)

Our Cherry Sorbet

(adapted from The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz)

2 pounds of pitted, halved cherries

1 cup of water

3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of sugar

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

In a medium nonreactive saucepan, 

heat the cherries, water, sugar and lemon juice over medium heat, 

stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes. 

Remove from heat and let stand until room temperature.

Puree the mixture in a blender until smooth.

Chill thoroughly in refrigerator.

Mix in freezer bowl of an Ice Cream Maker 

for approximately 20 minutes.

Place in air tight container and keep in freezer until ready to serve.

Thank you Milanis,

your cherries are the best and the family is even better!
