CHERRIES JUBILEE
About 1 cup
Heat in a small saucepan over medium heat:
- ½ pound Bing or other sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- ¼ cup sugar
Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the cherries exude enough juice to create a sauce. Add:
- ¼ cup brandy, bourbon, or white rum
Heat until the liquor is warm, then carefully ignite it with a long wooden match or lighter. When the flames have died down, add:
- 2 tablespoons kirsch
Serve hot on or with:
- Sweet Crêpes, vanilla ice cream, or any cheesecake
