Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 25 grams unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters fresh orange juice
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 60 milliliters kirsch (cherry brandy) or dark rum
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and orange zest to the skillet. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a smooth sauce.
Step 3
Add the cherries to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cherries are heated through and the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Carefully pour the kirsch or dark rum into the skillet. Use a long lighter or a match to ignite the alcohol and flambé the mixture. Allow the flames to subside naturally while gently swirling the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Once the flames have subsided, remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 6
Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or dishes, then spoon the warm cherries and sauce over the top.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cherries Jubilee Fantabulous!
