Ingredients
700g cherries, stoned
397g can condensed milk
2 tbsp lemon juice
300ml double cream
3 tbsp redcurrant jelly
1 tbsp arrowroot (or cornflour)
Method
1
Put the cherries in a pan with 125ml water. Heat slowly until simmering, then simmer for 5 minutes. Tip into a bowl and chill for 30 minutes. At the same time chill the condensed milk.
2
Drain the cherries and reserve the juice. Roughly purée the cherries with a blender. Don’t make them too smooth – they should still have a little texture. Add the lemon juice.
3
Whip the cream until it holds its shape, then fold into the cherry purée with the condensed milk.
4
Turn the mixture into a plastic container and freeze for at least 5 hours. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
5
To make the sauce, add enough water to the reserved cherry juice to make it up to 300ml, then gently heat with the jelly until it dissolves.
6
Continue to heat until simmering. Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water to make a paste, then stir into the juice until it boils and thickens. Pour over the ice cream to serve.
