Homemade Cherry Sorbet Recipe

Several years ago, I made this Homemade Cherry Sorbet Recipe and since last year there were no cherries, this year I rushed to make this delicious ice cream again for the whole family to enjoy.

To make this recipe, you will need an ice cream maker but it’s really not an expensive purchase and it’s an accessory that will allow you to make delicious recipes all year long, ice creams, sorbets, granita, etc.

This is not my first version of this sorbet and I like to vary the pleasures by adding sometimes a little vanilla or mint leaves when cooking the cherries.

So I let you discover my recipe which is very simple and requires only three ingredients, but believe me, you will enjoy it!

Homemade Cherry Sorbet Recipe

What ingredients will you need to make this delicious homemade cherry sorbet recipe?

• cherries
• sugar
• lemon
• optional: vanilla or fresh mint leaves

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can always pour it into a tub and scrape it down with a fork and you’ll have a gratin….

I love eating this sorbet as is, but I also like to pair it with cookies, so if you’re brave enough to turn on your oven while you run your ice cream maker, these are my favorite: Amaretti Soft Cookies!

You can also use it in a vacherin… 😉
