Instead of attempting the Maraschino Ice Cream I had originally planned for my Ice Cream Social, I decided something a little lighter would be in order after all that heavy cream. So instead, I’m reviving my Kirsch Sorbet recipe from The Devil in the White City Dinner Party. This recipe was a huge hit, so I highly recommend it. Additionally, it’s important to garnish the sorbet with a good quality cherry preserve. The sweet and tart flavor of the preserved cherries are the perfect compliment to the sorbet.
