Hmm...I made this yesterday, following the recipe strictly except for adding an extra 1/4 cup cherries. I used dried tart cherries. The ice cream has good texture, and is very rich. My problem is that the flavor of the rum seems to overpower that of the cherries. Next time I'm craving cherry ice cream, I think I may take this base, but just soak the cherries in warm water or a less assertive type of liquor, such as amaretto, and see how that turns out. Thank you for posting this recipe.
