Homemade Cherry Ice Cream image

I have been experimenting making cherry ice cream and my secret ingredient is balsamic vinegar - give it a try! I like my ice cream on the creamy side, so I prefer eating it fresh out of the ice cream maker.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ¼ pounds fresh cherries, pitted and quartered
1 cup white sugar, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl and mix well. Set aside for 2 hours. Drain, reserving juice.
  • Mash 1/2 the cherries with a fork or puree in a blender.
  • Combine milk and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add reserved cherry juice, cream, pureed cherries, vanilla extract; mix to combine.
  • Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Add remaining quartered cherries and freeze for an additional 5 minutes. Ice cream should be nice and creamy. If you prefer it harder, transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
