Fresh Cherry Yoghurt Ice Cream

When cherries are in season this is divine.  It’s best eaten as soon as it’s made. If you don’t have an ice cream making machine, freeze in a plastic container, remove from the freezer after about an hour and a half and whiz in a food processor until smooth. Remove and repeat one more time, then freeze until completely frozen. Remove from the fridge and allow softening down a little before serving.
