Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh cherries pitted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 water
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 1/2 tsp. bourbon

Instructions

  • Spread fresh cherries evenly onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to make sorbet, add sugar and water to small pot. Heat over medium, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Cool.
  • Add cherries, simple syrup, lime juice, and bourbon to food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, stopping every minute or so to scrap the sides.
  • Once blended, add the mixture to a loaf pan and freeze for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, stir sorbet and place back into the freezer for 2 or more hours, until frozen and easy to scoop.
  • Serve the sorbet with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
  • Store sorbet in loaf pan covered with plastic wrap.
