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

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.
