Preparation:
Combine half the sugar, red wine and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the cherries and stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Chill. Strain out 1/2-3/4 cup of the juice and save for another purpose.
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the cream and vanilla. Place in a home ice cream maker and process until half frozen. Add the cherries and continue freezing until very thick. Place in a metal bowl, which has been chilling in the freezer. Cover with plastic wrap and let harden 2-3 hours.
