Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and orange zest to the skillet. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a smooth sauce.
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.
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.
Once the flames have subsided, remove the skillet from the heat.
Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or dishes, then spoon the warm cherries and sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cherries Jubilee Fantabulous!
