1. Prepare the Cherry Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cherries, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well and set aside for about 15 minutes to macerate.

2. Mix the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Incorporate the Cherries: After the cherries have macerated, add them and their juice to the ice cream base. Stir gently to combine.

4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill. This helps develop the flavors.

5. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

6. Transfer to a Container: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Freeze Until Firm: Place the container in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the ice cream is hard.

8. Serve: Once fully frozen, your Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream is ready to enjoy!
