Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb Gelato

Using a small food processor chop the pitted cherries until you have a coarse puree. Set aside.
Fill a large bowl with ice (big enough to hold the second bowl)
Using the smaller bowl, whisk one cup milk with the corn starch to dissolve.
Combine the sugar, milk powder, corn syrup and salt with the remaining three cups milk in a deep sauce pan and heat to the scalding point. Do not boil.
Add the contents of the other bowl to this. Bring back to heat until viscous.
Add this back to the smaller bowl and whisk in the cherry puree. Allow to cool down nested in the ice bowl. Cover and seal and hold in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or better still overnight.
Depending on your ice cream maker you may have to freeze the machine bowl overnight. Don't forget to do this.
On the day you are ready to make your gelato add the heavy cream and honey to the milk/fruit blend. Whisk together and pour into the frozen bowl of the machine which you have already fitted with the dasher. Run the machine until you have a nice texture, perhaps as long as 20 or 25 minutes depending on the machine.
Scoop into serving bowls and top each portion with the amarena cherries. This will heighten the sweetness.
Amarena cherries can be found in Italian specialty shops and many supermarkets.. They are a product of the Bologna area. Italian maraschinos are a good substitute, e.g. Luxardo. American maraschino are a poor imitation of the real thing.
