Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade cherry sherbet
How do you make homemade cherry sherbet?
Homemade cherry sherbet is made by simmering cherries in water, then straining and chilling the liquid. Add sugar to taste if desired. Serve it cold; the cherries can be left whole while simmering and removed afterward.
What is homemade cherry sherbet made of?
Homemade cherry sherbet is usually made with cherries and water, with sugar added if a sweeter drink is wanted. Some recipes include lemon juice or a spice such as cinnamon, but neither is essential.
Can you make homemade cherry sherbet with frozen cherries?
Yes, frozen cherries work in homemade cherry sherbet. Add them directly to the water and simmer until they release their color and flavor; thawing them first is optional, though they may release liquid as they thaw.
Is homemade cherry sherbet cooked or made without boiling?
Homemade cherry sherbet is commonly made by simmering the cherries so their flavor and color infuse the water. A no-cook version is possible by steeping crushed cherries in water, but it may have a lighter flavor.
Do you need to pit cherries for homemade cherry sherbet?

To help homemade cherry sherbet keep its bright color, avoid simmering it longer than needed and chill it promptly after straining. A little lemon juice can help the color look vivid, although it will make the drink more tart.
Is homemade cherry sherbet the same as cherry juice?
No, homemade cherry sherbet is not simply cherry juice. It is a sweetened, water-based drink made by infusing cherries, while cherry juice is pressed or extracted from the fruit and is usually more concentrated.

Homemade cherry sherbet keeps for a few days in the refrigerator when stored in a clean, covered container. Keep it chilled between servings, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended time.
Can homemade cherry sherbet be frozen?
Yes, homemade cherry sherbet can be frozen in a freezer-safe container with room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before serving, since the liquid may separate or change texture after freezing.

What is Homemade cherry sherbet?
Homemade cherry sherbet is a Turkish fruit drink made by simmering or steeping cherries in water, usually with sugar. Despite the name, it is served as a drink rather than as frozen sorbet; recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen.
Its flavour is fruity and gently tart, and it is typically chilled and poured alongside a meal or offered as a refreshing summer drink. In Turkey, sherbets are also served on festive occasions and at iftar. This version is mostly a source of carbohydrate, with very little protein or fat: it has 12.4 g of carbohydrate per 100 g. For a less-sweet glass, reduce the sugar in the recipe or dilute the sherbet with water when serving.
