Berries Jubilee image

This is a berry version of the famous flaming cherries jubilee. Skip the alcohol and flaming step if you prefer; no additional liquid needs to be substituted for the brandy. From Kathleen Desmond Stang and Melissa Monosoff Cooking Light, JUNE 2000. I tried it with Jacques Cardin, which is 80 proof, and didn't get a very dramatic flame. Still, it was worth it, this sauce is exquisite!

Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon orange rind, grated
1 1/4 cups orange juice (fresh is best, the flavor of concentrate lingers after cooking)
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries or 1 1/2 cups strawberries
1/4 cup brandy
4 cups low-fat vanilla ice cream (We actually used Klondike bars, highly recommended!)

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in a large skillet.
  • Briskly stir in rind and juice with a gravy whisk to prevent clumps of cornstarch; bring to a boil.
  • Cook 1 minute or until slightly thick.
  • Add berries; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • Pour brandy into one side of skillet. Ignite brandy with a long match.
  • Let flames die down and spoon the berry sauce over ice cream.
