For the best flavor, use the freshest, ripest cherries you can find. Bing cherries offer a rich, deep flavor, while Rainier cherries provide a sweeter, more delicate taste. If you prefer a smoother ice cream, you can lightly macerate the cherries with a tablespoon of sugar for about 30 minutes before adding them to the base. This will soften them slightly and release more of their natural juices. To prevent ice crystals from forming, ensure your ice cream maker bowl is thoroughly chilled and freeze the ice cream in an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container to further minimize ice crystal formation.
