| Cerises Jubilee (Cherries Jubilee)
Thaw 2 (10oz) packages of frozen sweet cherries or use a 1lb can
of Bing (dark sweet) cherries. Drain liquid into saucepan; save
cherries. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon suger;
moisten with a little cold cherry liquid, then gradually stir into
rest. Cook and stir until clear and thickened. Add cherries and
bring to boil. Pour 1/4 cup pre-warmed brandy or kirsch on top
(pre-warming is the secret to flaming this dish). Ignite and spoon
flaming sauce over cherries until flames die. Serve over hard ice
cream. Two tablespoons red current jelly may replace suger.
Happy eating
