I told you guys- It’s all cherries all the time! I truly am obsessed and I’m hoping you feel the same way??
Maybe?
In case you do, here is another one- and it’s the most saturated, intense cherry recipe yet- Sour Cherry Sorbet!
It’s pure cherry flavor and sweet with just a hint of natural tartness.
I love this on it’s own (and could absolutely eat a big bowl of it) but Coco hipped me to the fact that it might taste even better (to her) with a chocolate chip cookie involved. I feel like that might have been a good call, and so we made these cookies, and she ate them slathered with the cherry sorbet- a girl after my own heart!

The sorbet sounds delicious, that is a must for this weekend. Then will try the cookies next. So many good sounding things to get moving in the kitchen on. Love those cherries from Washington state !

Aren’t they so good Marla!!? Thank you!
DREAMING of this! Looks so refreshing!
Una pinta deliciosa! <3 🙂
I guess, I would agree that eating this sorbet with chocolate cookies is a great idea. I also like your presentation of adding those tiny yellow flowers to this sorbet. It adds so much beauty to it.
Thank you so much Kirti!
The amount of Cherries, is that before or after you take the pits out?
After pitting the cherries!
Hear me out: couple scoops sorbet in a big glass topped with lemon lime soda for a “slush”. Soooo good! (We typically make rhubarb slush, but I think this beats even that!) I wish I could post a photo
