It's been another fairly hot week in the city, so as the temperatures were rising and I was trying to decide on Sweet Sunday it became very clear to me that baking wouldn't be an option.

 

Something frozen sounded good to me, and I had a bag of black cherries in the freezer so I thought I'd try my hand at this instant cherry sorbet to see what it's like.

 

I think next time I'd add a little cherry juice to the blend, but otherwise, this is a simple and tasty treat!

 

Recipe:

 

Ingredients:

- 2 cups of frozen black pitted cherries

- 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar

- 2 tablespoons of amaretto (I don't have amaretto in the house, I used 1 tablespoon of almond extract instead)

- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

- Chopped Almonds

 

Directions:

01. Whirl 2 cups frozen black cherries with 2 tbsp superfine sugar in a food processor until crumbly.

02. With the motor running, gradually pour in 2 tbsp amaretto (or 1 tbsp of almond extract) and 1 tsp lemon juice until smooth but not runny.

03. Serve topped with chopped almonds. (Optional)

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
