 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
   10       oz           Morello cherries -- pitted
                         - or other if these not
                         - available (maybe Bing)
                         - reserve the stones
      3/4   c            Sugar
      1/2                Lemon
    1                    Vanilla bean
    4                    Eggs -- yolks only
    2       c            Milk
 
       - Gelato alle Amarene - Tie the cherry stones in a piece of
   cheesecloth. Put the cherries in a saucepan and add half the sugar, the
   cherry stones, the zest and juice of the lemon, vanilla bean and sufficient
   water to barely cover the cherries. Simmer for 30 minutes. Set aside to
   cool. Discard the cherry stones. Push the sauce through a sieve into a
   bowl. In the top of a double boiler, beat the egg yolks with the remaining
   sugar until the mixture falls from the beater in a ribbon. Add the milk.
   Place over simmering water and cook, without boiling, until the custard
   thickens enough to coat a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside to
   cool. Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream machine and churn until set.
   Transfer the ice-cream to a shallow serving bowl. Pour the morello cherry
   sauce over it and serve.
