Ingredients

2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup Whole Milk
¾ cup Granulated Sugar
1.5 cups Fresh or Frozen Cherries pitted and halved
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the cherries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are soft and start to release their juices, about 10-15 minutes. Let the mixture cool, then blend it slightly, leaving some chunks for texture. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Gently fold the cherry mixture into the cream mixture until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a large, shallow dish or a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in the freezer. After 45 minutes, remove the mixture from the freezer and stir it vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals that have formed. Return to the freezer. Repeat this stirring process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and creamy.
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, let it freeze for an additional hour or until fully set. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
