method
1. Place 600 ml water in a saucepan over a moderate heat with the sugar, stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cherries and simmer for 2 minutes then transfer the cherries to a plate and allow to cool.
2. Increase the heat and boil the syrup until it has reduced to about 6 x 15 ml spoons. Allow to cool and stir in the brandy or fruit liqueur if using.
3. Stir the cherries and reduced syrup into the cream. Transfer to a freezer-proof container and freeze for 2 hours. Stir to break up the ice crystals and freeze for a further 2 hours, or until required. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving.
