I started making whole fruit sorbet a couple of years ago for when I want to gorge on something sweet without consuming a ton of fat or sugar, and I just recently discovered my favorite version -- cherry. While I'm not a fan of most cherry candies because of their tendency to taste like medicine, I love actual sweet cherries, and that's pretty much what this sorbet tastes like because that's pretty much what it is.
Ingredients
1 16 oz. bag frozen dark sweet cherries (Whole Foods carries these.)
1 banana, frozen (I originally said "fresh or frozen," but having made this now with a fresh one, I realize I was wrong.)
Directions
1. Put the cherries and peeled banana in a blender. If you let them thaw a few minutes, they won't be so much trouble to blend.
2. Blend cherries and banana until smooth. Push down with a spoon or other pushing implement as necessary (not your hand!). Serve immediately, or keep chilled in fridge for up to a couple of hours. (Refreezing adversely affects both the texture and flavor, so I don't recommend making this too far in advance.)
