Happy 4th of July friends!
Today we celebrate this great country and the independence we all enjoy.
Thank you to all the brave men and women in the armed services, including my husband, for fighting for our freedom!
Today I am sharing my homemade Cherry Sorbet recipe. Fresh cherries are frozen then blended with simple syrup and lemon juice for a delicious, fresh, and icy cool treat to enjoy on a hot summer day!

I love using plump and sweet cherries in recipes all summer long!
After washing you need to pit your cherries.
To easily pit cherries, poke a straw through the center and it will remove the pit and stem.
I added my cherries to a large freezer bag and placed in the freezer overnight.
Once frozen, add to a large food processor.
Pour in simple syrup
{which is one cup water and one cup sugar boiled together and cooled}.
Pour in lemon juice.
Now time to blend up!
Blend on high speed in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Look at that gorgeous color!

It is perfectly smooth and soft and delicious!
My little ladies enjoyed a scoop of Cherry Sorbet outside last night.
