Cherries jubilee made with flambeed brandy over rich, vanilla ice cream is a serious showstopper of a dessert.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 dash salt
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
33 ounces pitted dark sweet cherries in syrup
4 tablespoons brandy
1 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream

directions

Heat a stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, salt, and cornstarch and mix well. Drain the syrup from the cherries into the skillet and mix well. Bring the syrup to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Reduce the heat to a low simmer then gently stir in the pitted cherries.

Remove the pan from the heat. Very slowly add the brandy to the skillet. Using a long match or lighter, ignite the brandy in the pan.

Let the flames die off. Divide the ice cream between individual dessert dishes. Spoon the cherries jubilee over the ice cream and serve immediately.
