3 cups cherries, stems removed and pitted
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup water
3 TBSP lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla (or vodka)- I used 1 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp cherry extract
2/3 cup heavy cream
1) Cook 3 cups pitted cherries, sugar, salt, and 3/4 cup water over medium heat- until it reaches a simmer, about 7 minutes. I used a flat bottomed whisk and mashed the cherries while they were cooking to help extract more of the juices. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the cherry mixture. Press down on the solids to help extract more juices. Discard the solids when done.
2) Add lemon juice and vanilla (and/or vodka- cherry extract). ** This amount of alcohol helps to keep the ice cream smooth, not frosty when it freezes. Cover and place in freezer for about 30 minutes, do not freeze.
3) Whip heavy cream in medium or large bowl until soft peaks form. Slowly whisk in juice mixture from freezer.
4) Turn ice cream maker on. While ice cream maker is moving, slowly add mixture into ice cream maker and let it churn until it reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Place in a covered, air-tight container and store in the freezer.

ReplyDeleteYes, I got one at Sur La Table, it's awesome, you can do like six at once, Hazel pitted all the cherries for me! It was supposed to be for Dave for Father's Day, but it was too urgent to make the sherbet that I had to "give" it to him early.
ReplyDeleteAllen Wrench Strain may be a Sativa marijuana strain created from a cross between Trainwreck and NYC Diesel which is an excellent morning strain, leaving both recreational and medicative cannabis shoppers feeling energized and artistic. wrench Marijuana Strain contains a fruity and citrusy taste, with earthy and lemony notes. <a href="https://sugarleaforganic.com/product/cherry-sherbet-strain/>Cherry Sherbet Strain</a> is an indica-dominant delight. The stinky sweet herb is the genetic cross of Sour Sherbet and Cherry Pie. These heavy-hitting buds will smoke sweet and tangy, settling behind the eyes and melting over the body, coating the smoker in a warm physical buzz coupled with an unlifted cerebral haze.
