Ever on the look out for ways to eat fruit and also have dessert, I have come across sorbet. I have a KRUPS ice cream maker, the kind you put bowl in the freezer for eight hours, then you attach it to the machine, and pour in the mix, and turn on the machine. Here is the deal. If you have one of those type machines, cook two pounds pitted cherries with one cup water, and 3/4 cup sugar for about ten minutes when the cherries are cooked. Cool mixture, then process in food processor with 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or not), chill then put in machine and start. Twenty minutes later Voila.If you like soft ice cream, you can eat it then, otherwise put it in the freezer, and let it "cure".
Should you want to do strawberries, heat the water with the sugar to melt he sugar, and eliminate he strawberry cooking.
