Main Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted cherries
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup kirsch or brandy
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream for serving
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. If using, dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of water and add to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and add the kirsch or brandy. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a lighter or match. Let the flames subside.
4. Serve the cherries and sauce over vanilla ice cream.
