Title: Classic Cherries Jubilee
Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Booze, I scream
Yield: 6 Servings
1/2 c White sugar
2 tb Corn starch
1/4 c Water; cold
1/4 c Orange juice
1 lb Bing or other dark, sweet
- cherries; rinsed, pitted
1/2 ts Orange zest; fine grated
1/4 ts Cherry extract
1/4 c Brandy
3 c Vanilla bean ice cream
Whisk together the sugar and corn starch in a wide saucepan. Stir
in the water and orange juice; bring to a boil over medium-high
heat, whisking until thickened. Stir in the cherries and orange
zest, return to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for
10 minutes. While the cherries are cooking, spoon the ice cream
into serving bowls.
Remove the cherries from the heat, and stir in the cherry extract.
Pour in the brandy, and ignite with a long lighter. Gently shake
the pan until the blue flame has extinguished itself. Spoon the
cherries over the bowls of ice cream.
Note On Flambeing:
The flames may get quite high when flambeing, so pay attention to
anything flammable above and around where you ignite the cherries.
When the initial large flame has died down, a small blue flame will
continue to burn for several seconds. Shake or stir the cherries
gently to expose more alcohol to the flame, being careful that they
do not burn. The goal is to have the small, blue flame burn for as
long as possible, thereby reducing the raw alcohol flavor,
caramelizing the sugars, and entertaining your guests!
