Easy Raw Sweet Cherry Sorbet

"This is the easiest sorbet recipe ever. This differs from traditional sorbet recipes, as it doesn't include simple syrup. Honestly, I didn't have time to make simple syrup from scratch. It would have required way too long to chill to the appropriate temperature. I instead used a mixture of ice-cold water, lemon juice, confectionery sugar and almond extract. "Cooking Time" includes time needed to churn in an ice cream maker as well as time needed to cure in the freezer. If you are as eager as I was to eat this sorbet, you may choose to serve it directly after churning without freezing for 2-4 hours, but please be aware that the sorbet will be soft and melt faster. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family! Happy eating!"

directions

  • Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
  • Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade, place all ingredients. Chop until smooth and foamy. The mixture will appear thin. If desired, strain for a smoother consistency. I prefer not to, as we like a naturally pulpy texture.
  • Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
  • With a spatula, turn sorbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am&nbsp;33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years.&nbsp; We have a beautiful 5-year-old&nbsp;daughter and a 3-year-old&nbsp;son.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am amazed at how quickly our kids are&nbsp;growing and developing.&nbsp; I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as&nbsp;preservatives,&nbsp;hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc.&nbsp; With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century&nbsp;of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed.&nbsp; I'm doing the best I can to protect my family&nbsp;from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.&nbsp; I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of&nbsp;cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p> 8727502"
