Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted cherries fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup kirsch or brandy
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a skillet, combine cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the cherries release their juices and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2. If using, dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of water and add to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  3. 3. Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the kirsch or brandy over the cherries.
  4. 4. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a match or lighter. Let the flames burn out, shaking the skillet gently until the flames subside.
  5. 5. Serve the cherries and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
