This is a very simple but impressive dessert to serve your guests.

Learn how to Flambe.

Don't forget to check out my Lamb Roast with Port Wine Sauce dinner menu and Prime Rib Dinner menu which includes this very easy-to-make Cherries Jubilee.

Cherries Jubilee

1 can (16-ounce) cherry pie filling
1/2 cup brandy
Good quality vanilla ice cream

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat cherries. In another small saucepan, heat brandy (it won't flame unless it is heated).

Spoon ice cream into goblets and spoon heated cherries over ice cream. Pour heated brandy over the warm cherries and ignite.  

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
