Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup water

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherries: If you opt for fresh cherries, rinse them under cool water and remove the pits carefully. For frozen cherries, allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes until they’re softer.

    Blend the Base: In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the prepared cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Taste the mixture and, if desired, adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar until you achieve your preferred flavor.

      Strain the Mixture (Optional): For an ultra-smooth texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spatula to push through as much liquid as possible while discarding any solids. Note that leaving some cherry pulp will enhance the flavor and texture.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the cherry mixture into a clean bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate it for about 1 hour. Chilling helps the mixture freeze more evenly when placed in the freezer.

          Freeze: Once chilled, pour the cherry mixture into a shallow baking dish or a loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

            Stir and Whip: After approximately 1 hour in the freezer, remove the dish and use a fork to stir the mixture vigorously, breaking up any ice crystals that may have formed. Repeat this stirring process every 30 minutes for about 3 hours, or until the sorbet is frozen and has a light, fluffy texture.

              Serve: When the sorbet reaches the desired consistency, scoop it into individual bowls or serve in cones. For an added touch of elegance, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves.

                Enjoy: Serve the sorbet immediately for the best texture and taste, and savor your delightful homemade cherry sorbet!
