CHERRIES JUBILEE



Cherries Jubilee image

This is an old school classic, making use of the woefully underutilized art of flambe. Flambeing caramelizes sugars and deepens flavors; with ripe summer cherries, that's really all you need.

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pound fresh, ripe sweet cherries, such as Bing
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon
1/3 cup golden rum

Steps:

  • Evenly scoop the ice cream into 4 dishes or decorative glasses and put in the freezer until ready to serve (this can be done up to 4 hours ahead).
  • Wash and pit the cherries. Put the cherries and sugar in a large skillet. Peel 2 strips of zest from the lemon in wide strips with a peeler and add to the cherries. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top. Stir to combine evenly. Cover and cook the cherries over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high until cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
  • To flambe the rum: If cooking over a gas flame, pull the pan off the heat and add the rum. Ignite the alcohol with a long match or one held with tongs. Swirl the pan slightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
  • If cooking over an electric stove, put the rum in a small saucepan. Warm it over medium-low heat and carefully light it with a long match or one held with tongs. Pour the lit rum over the cherries, and swirl the pan lightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
  • Ladle the cherries and their juices over prepared ice cream scoops. Serve immediately.

This is a great, refreshing dessert, especially after a hearty meal. This does have to be prepared immediately before serving, but does not take a lot of time. Your guests will enjoy the blue flames when the brandy is ignited!

CHERRIES JUBILEE



Cherries Jubilee image

Warm, boozy cherries over ice cream is a classic dessert, and it's so easy to do. We like ours over chocolate ice cream (but when Bobby doesn't quite have the energy to make this, you know he's always got Cherry Garcia in the freezer).

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

Two 16-ounce cans whole cherries in juice, drained and juice reserved
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup kirsch, Cognac, or freshly squeezed orange juice
1 quart chocolate ice cream

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the reserved cherry juice, the sugar, and cornstarch until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve.
  • Combine the remaining cherry juice and the cornstarch mixture in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cherries and kirsch and cook until the cherries are warmed through, about 2 minutes more.
  • Place 2 scoops of ice cream in each serving dish. Divide the warm cherry topping among the dishes and serve.

SUMMER CHERRIES JUBILEE



Summer Cherries Jubilee image

This is my favorite dessert to make at home. It's easy, and the end result is rather impressive. The key to a successful flambe is to be sure the brandy is heated over low heat. That way, it slowly reaches the appropriate temperature but retains it's alcohol content, which is important for it to ignite. For this recipe, canned Cherry Pie Filling is not a suitable substitute for canned cherries. [A little history of this dessert dish....It was well known that cherries was Queen Victoria's favorite fruit, and legendary French chef Auguste Escoffier created this impressive dish to honor Queen Victoria on the occasion of either her Golden Jubilee in1887 or her Diamond Jubilee in 1897.] This is a simplified version of this scrumptious dessert that can easily be made at home.
