Sour Cherry Sorbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for hot summer days. This sweet and tart sorbet is made from fresh, pitted, tart cherries, white sugar, dry white wine, almond extract, and a touch of salt to bring out the flavors. It's a light and healthy alternative to traditional ice cream or gelato, with no added dairy. Serve it alone, with fresh fruit, or as a topping for warm cobbler or pie.

Instructions

1.	In a blender, puree the cherries until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the skins and any lumps.
2.	In a separate saucepan, heat the sugar, white wine, almond extract, and salt over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until fully dissolved and the mixture is fragrant.
3.	Allow the sugar mixture to cool slightly and add to the cherry puree, stirring until fully combined.
4.	Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least one hour, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze for several hours or overnight until firm.
