How to make cherry sorbet without an ice cream maker

If you don’t have an ice cream machine you can still make this dessert. Simply add the sorbet straight to the freezer instead of churning. After half an hour, remove and whisk until smooth, then continue freezing. If you have time, remove the sorbet 2-3 more times every half hour and whisk. This will make a less icy textured sorbet.
