Flathead Cherry Sorbet

In Summer '22 Recipes by Ashlee ODell

Summer in a bowl. To use your Flathead cherries, you’ll need to pit them and freeze them first. (A cherry pitter is a must-have!) If you want to make this year-round, stock up on Dark Sweet Frozen Cherries from Costco.

Don’t skip the lemon juice! It gives this sorbet the summery tart-ness that it needs.

1 ¾ cups frozen pitted cherries 

2 tbsp. honey

1 tbsp. lemon juice

4 tbsp. 2% Greek Yogurt

4 tbsp. water

  3. Scoop out the sorbet, top with mint, and serve immediately.
