Fresh cherries have always been a favorite summertime fruit. They’re sweet, but not too sweet. They’re tart, but not bitter. Give me a big bowl of fresh cherries and I’m a happy camper. I love them so much I figured I’d try them in nice cream. And, by golly do they make a mean nice cream! Especially when blended with fresh lime juice and some good dark chocolate. On top of their primo flavor, cherry consumption has been shown to reduce inflammation, treat gout and improve sleep quality. So, the moral of the story is “life is just a bowl of cherries” and a bowl of Cherry Lime Nice Cream will make your life that much sweeter.
