Cherries Jubilee (photos)

Tonight's dessert

Dark Cherries, halved and pitted



Butter



Brown Sugar



Cook until sugar is bubbly and cherries begin to get soft.



Cooked cherries will form a nice sweet flavorful cherry liquid.



Add Brandy and flame to burn away the alcohol. Sadly I discovered my camera won't photograph blue flames.



Serve over vanilla ice cream.







I know classic Cherries Jubilee uses Kirschwasser. We were out and this was good.

If you have kirschwasser, just use it where I used brandy. Otherwise the recipe is the same.

Great way to melt some vanilla ice cream.
