Cherries

In a food processor, process cherries and sugar together until smooth.

Place cherry mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Leaving the cherries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor. Chilling for 24 hours will yield the best results.

Ice Cream Base

Meanwhile, beat egg yolks with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is a pale yellow color.

Heat milk just to boiling in a saucepan and then pour the hot milk over the beaten eggs.

Whisk together.

Pour this back into the saucepan.

Stir milk/egg mixture over medium heat until mixture thickens and begins to stick to the back of your spoon.

Chill completely. This will take at least 3 hours.

Stir chilled cherries and chilled milk mixture together.

Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Then combine well.

Pour into your ice cream maker.

Churn about 25-30 minutes or according to manufacturer's instructions.

Helpful Hint: You can also add about 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the ice cream during the last 5 minutes of mixing. This makes a black cherry chocolate ice cream.
