Much to my surprise, the British summer is still here, and with no sign of respite from the heat, I made another batch of ice cream! Normally, when you think of cherry flavoured anything, you think of something very sweet and fruity and maybe a bit sour, but I wanted this ice cream to be a bit more subtle and refreshing. This is why I added very little sugar and I also didn't cook the cherries prior to mixing them with the rest of the ingredients. Because of the acid in the cherries, the mixture does split a little bit, but I found that it didn't affect the taste or texture in any noticeable way. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the recipe and remember to stay hydrated!
