Berry and cherry season is in full swing. Freeze fruit at its peak in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-lock bag for storage. Use fruit throughout the year in one of our instant sorbets.
Ingredients
2 cups frozen black cherries
2 tbsp superfine sugar
2 tbsp amaretto
1 tsp lemon juice
chopped almonds, (optional)
Instructions
WHIRL 2 cups frozen black cherries with 2 tbsp superfine sugar in a food processor until crumbly. With the motor running, gradually pour in 2 tbsp amaretto and 1 tsp lemon juice until smooth but not runny. Serve topped with chopped almonds.
You don't have to stick to cherries: any frozen fruit will do. Following the same methods, try these flavour variations.

- Raspberry margarita: 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries + 1 tbsp granulated sugar + 1 tbsp tequila + 4 tsp lime juice
