Notes
Maraschino Cherry Juice: You can get one cup of juice from a 16 oz. jar of cherries or two 8 oz. jars of cherries.Heavy Cream: When it comes to heavy cream, look for one with a very high fat percentage, like 36%. This helps the ice cream freeze better, otherwise it is more of a soft serve consistency. This is very important when it comes to making ice cream that is not custard based.For optimal outcomes when preparing this maraschino cherry ice cream, it's recommended to refer to the recipe details within the post.
