Cherry Pit Whipped Cream
Make the most of your cherry-pitting efforts by saving those pits! Instead of tossing them in the trash, toss them in the fridge with some cream. Cold-steeped for a few hours or even overnight, they'll give your next batch of whipped cream a delicate cherry flavor and color (although the intensity will depend entirely on the quality of your fruit). It's a fantastic complement to all-American cherry pie, or an elegant garnish for any summer dessert.

Dried Cherry Butter
Dried cherries are one of my favorite dried fruits. Plump, tart, and sweet, they have a concentrated cherry flavor that packs a serious punch. Here, dried cherries shine in a silky fruit butter sweetened with honey and spiced with cinnamon. This butter would be delicious on cornbread or sourdough toast, or use it as a filling for chocolate sandwich cookies.
Sour Cherry and Lavender Sorbet
Go slowly with the salt and lime juice, adding just a bit at a time. You may need more or less depending on your cherries, though keep in mind that flavor intensity dials down when frozen. If you want your sorbet to taste like a 10, flavor the base up to 11. If you can't find sour cherries, you can use their sweet counterparts; just up the acidity to keep things tart and refreshing.
Cherry Ice Cream
Without any egg yolks to get in the way, this ice cream tastes like pure cherry and nothing more—although if you'd like a hint of smoke try throwing the cherries on a hot grill until wilted and soft.
