Cherry Sorbet With Tarragon Recipes

EASY RAW SWEET CHERRY SORBET

Steps:

• 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.

CHERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Combine sugar and cherries and refrigerate overnight. Place mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Add lemon juice and pulse until combined. Pour mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.

CHERRY SORBET WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 13/4 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Pass the cherries through a food mill or puree in a food processor and then pass them through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard the solids and place the juice in a large bowl. (You should have about 2 cups.) Whisk in the ginger, tarragon, lemon juice and sugar-water mixture. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
