Ingredients
- 500 grams sweet cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 60 ml orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 60 ml dark rum or kirsch (cherry brandy)
- 500 ml vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves and begins to form a light syrup, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the orange juice and orange zest, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Add the pitted cherries to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are softened and heated through.
Step 5
Carefully pour in the dark rum or kirsch. Using a long lighter or a match, ignite the alcohol to flambé the dish. Allow the flames to subside naturally, which should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 6
Once the flames are out, stir the mixture gently to combine all the flavors.
Step 7
Spoon the warm cherries and sauce over bowls of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
