Roxbury Sour Cherry Sorbet

In early July, Earthworks‘ City Fruit program announced they were looking for volunteers to help pick and pit sour cherries from Boston’s urban orchards. One of the picking sites was our own Southwest Corridor Community Garden which is host to two glorious cherry trees. Unfortunately I couldn’t help with the hard work, but I did get to reap the benefits– a pint of Roxbury Sour Cherry sorbet bought from the JP Licks on Centre Street. The sorbet is a beautiful ruby color with bits of cherry pulp and a tangy sweet and sour punch. I am told that this is a limited edition batch so be sure to seek out a sample before it’s too late.
