Cherries Jubilee

September 25 is the day for the delicious dessert of Cherries Jubilee to shine. Made with cherries and liqueur which is flambéed and then the dish is served with ice cream. There are many delicious varieties of this dessert but I chose to share this one

 

Cherries Jubilee

1 lb. fresh dark cherries, pitted
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup kirsh
2 tablespoons cornstarch

In a skillet, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.
Stir in the water and orange juice . Continue to whisk over medium heat until thickened.
Add the cherries and simmer for 5  minutes or until cherries warm through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour in the kirsh.  Ignite and allow alcohol to burn off.
Spoon the cherries over ice cream and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
