A classic dessert from the last century, Cherries Jubilee is a delicious dish of flaming cherries served over vanilla ice cream. The combo of temperatures is just amazingly delicious!
In a medium skillet or chafing dish, pour the juice from the cherries. Add the cornstarch and whisk until well combined. Heat until the mixture begins to boil and thicken, stirring frequently.
Stir in the cherries and heat them through.
Heat brandy in a saucepan until warm. Do not boil.
Pour the brandy over the cherry mixture and light it with a long match or BBQ lighter. Ooh and ahh and pat yourself on the back for being so stinking awesome.
Allow the flame to burn off the alcohol.
Serve the warm cherry mixture over ice cream.
Notes
You can also use fresh, pitted cherries or thawed, frozen cherries.
