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.
