Cherry Elderflower Sorbet

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I had a great one, spending the whole saturday watching movies, chatting and hogging with a very good friend of mine. It was lovely!

Sunday wasn't bad either - the star of this Sunday were these Cherries, well, unfortunately probably the last of this season. After gobbling some, I thought of making this Sorbet. The weather complemented it very well too - it was one of the very few warm and sunny weekends this washed out summer.

The sorbet is easy to make, refreshing and a good blend of sour and sweet. It was just perfect for a lazy sunday!

I mixed a little elderflower syrup into the sorbet which gave an interesting side taste, with an added hint of flowers and sweetness. Hope you like it too.
