Best 6 Bing Cherry Sherbet Recipes

CHERRY AND POMEGRANATE SHERBET

Steps:

• Add the cherries to a saucepan with the sugar and pomegranate juice. Bring to a slow boil and cook until the cherries are soft and the liquid is syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Add the cherries and juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping short of totally liquefying it if you'd like a little pulp. Add the milk, cream and lemon juice and blend briefly. Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions, and then transfer to an airtight freezer container and freeze for at least 24 hours before serving.
• Scoop into a pretty glass and serve. If you're feeling dangerous, mix with a little cold white wine for a delicious "milkshake." Just don't tell anyone I told you to do that.

CHERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Combine sugar and cherries and refrigerate overnight. Place mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Add lemon juice and pulse until combined. Pour mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.

CHERRY SHERBET IN TUILE BOWLS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Stir together 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Transfer syrup immediately to a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath, being careful not to let water reach rim of bowl. Let syrup cool completely, stirring frequently.
• Whisk together creme fraiche, heavy cream, milk, salt, and the syrup in a large bowl. Transfer to freezer; let set, whisking mixture vigorously for 2 minutes every 30 minutes, until sherbet is the consistency of whipped cream and whisk leaves a trail, 3 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, put cherries, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and the lemon juice in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cherries begin to break down and juice has thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Let mixture stand at room temperature until it has cooled completely.
• Gently fold cherry mixture into sherbet until just combined (juices should leave streaks). Cover surface of sherbet with parchment paper and freeze in bowl until set, 4 to 8 hours.
• If making a day ahead, transfer sherbet to an airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly onto surface of sherbet. Cover tightly. Let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Scoop sherbet into tuile bowls, and serve.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Put the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the egg whites, one at a time. Mix in the flour, salt, and vanilla.
• Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter onto the baking mat. Using an offset spatula, spread the batter into a 7-inch circle, with the edges slightly thicker than the center. Repeat, making a second circle on the mat.
• Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the edges of the cookies turn golden, about 9 minutes. Using a small spatula, immediately transfer 1 cookie to a small bowl (about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Gently mold the warm cookie to the shape of the bowl, pressing the bottom down to flatten. Let stand in the bowl 30 seconds; remove. Repeat with the remaining cookie. If the cookies become too cool to shape, return them to oven for 20 seconds. Repeat, baking the remaining batter and forming it into bowls. If using just 1 baking sheet, let it cool before spreading the next batch of batter onto it.

CLASSIC BING CHERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crust into a pie pan.
• Combine cherries, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and almond extract together in bowl. Refrigerate until cherry filling begins to set, about 10 minutes. Stir filling again; chill until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the filling into the bottom half of the pie crust; cover with top crust, crimp the edges to seal, and dot with butter. Cut vents into the top with a sharp knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; rotate the pie 1/4 of a turn. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

BING CHERRY SOUP

Steps:

• Put whole, unpitted cherries into a deep, wide, heavy pan. (No need to remove stems.) Add vanilla bean, candied orange, and wine or wine and water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until thickened and reduced by half.
• Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a food processor in batches and pulse briefly, just until fruit is in very small pieces. Transfer fruit, pits, stems and liquid to a fine-meshed sieve placed over a large bowl. Press hard with a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Cover, and chill 4 hours or overnight.
• To serve, ladle into shallow bowls. Put a scoop of sorbet or ice cream or a spoonful of sliced fruit in the center. Garnish with candied orange peel or a biscotti, if desired.
