Ingredients




1 ½ cups pitted cherries (from about ¾ lb cherries)
¾ cup milk
1 ¾ cups cream
½ cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tsp corn starch
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbs Amaretto (optional)

Preparation

1 Put cherries, milk, one cup of the cream, sugar, and salt into a medium saucepan. Heat on medium heat until the mixture is steamy, then lower the heat and let sit for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. 2 Pour mixture into a blender, and carefully purée ( because of the hot liquid). 3 Put mixture into a large bowl and stir in the remaining ¾ cup of cream. Chill for several hours in the refrigerator until completely cold. 4 Stir in cornstarch, lemon juice and Amaretto. 5 Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until frozen. Transfer to plastic container and place in the freezer for an hour before serving. 6 Serving: take it out for 5-10 minutes before serving, or longer, so it comes to the right scooping temperature.
