Instructions
For the Cherry Sorbet:
- Place the cherries, sugar, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, or until the cherries are very soft and mostly broken down.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature and then transfer it to the bowl of your food processor. Add in the Chambord.
- Pulse the mixture until it is mostly pureed. If you want a completely smooth sorbet, process it a little longer and/or strain it through a fine mesh strainer to get out any residual chunks.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least an hour and then churn it in your ice cream maker according to the package directions.
- Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least four hours before using.
For the Wine Spritzers:
- Allow the sorbet to soften slightly before scooping it into serving glasses or shallow bowls.
- Top each glass/bowl off with about ¼ cup of the rosé wine and a splash or two of the seltzer. Garnish with additional cherries and mint and serve immediately!
