Cherries and cherry sorbet

We thought the sheep had killed a number of trees in the orchard by eating their bark. Mostly we didn't mind because they did not have fruit last year or the fruit wasn't very good.
We noticed the other day lots of red things in one of the trees. They were cherries. The tree seemed to have survived despite a bit less bark (it looks like maybe the sheep just had a thin layer of the surface, not anything important) and decided to fruit this year. The fruit were lovely and juicy although not very strong flavoured, it has been a very very very very wet spring so we are not sure if that has perhaps adversely affected their flavour - we have giving it another chance anyway and will see how it turns out next year.
I picked a lot of fruit in the pouring rain and made cherry sorbet. The weather has been very variable, I am sure we will appreciate it sometime during the summer.

I stoned them with a cherry destoner - bought to help with the mini plums last year - haven't had a change to try it. Possible the plum will turn out to be too well attached to the flesh and too bit - but it worked very well for cherries
Then heated them gently in a pan until soft. I put them through the mouli (sieve would do too) then added juice of a lemon, and enough sugar to taste like sorbet and put in the sorbet maker.
