Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted

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

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup water

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherries: If using fresh cherries, wash them thoroughly and remove the pits. If using frozen cherries, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.

    Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more sugar.

      Strain the Mixture (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids. This step is optional, as leaving some of the cherry pulp adds to the flavor.

        Chill the Mixture: Pour the cherry mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to cool down, which helps the sorbet freeze more uniformly.

          Freeze: After chilling, pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a loaf pan. Spread evenly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

            Stir and Whip: After about 1 hour, take the mixture out and stir it vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for a total of about 3 hours, until the sorbet is fully frozen and fluffy.

              Serve: Once the sorbet reaches the desired consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, homemade cherry sorbet!
