A perfect dessert for a celebration. This dessert has an old world charm to it that makes New Orleans so unique.
Cherries Jubilee
1 quart good vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups brandy
1/2 cup sugar
2 pints of fresh cherries, pittedScoop the ice cream into dessert cups and put into freezer. Remove bowls from freezer just before adding cherries.
Heat the brandy and sugar together in a heavy saucepan until sugar is completely dissolved. Add the pitted cherries and light the liquid with a match. Stir the cherries around in the flaming brandy (be careful!) until the fire burns itself out. Spoon mixture over ice cream and serve. Serves 6.
