Ingredients

  • 20 large sweet cherries such as Bing, washed, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup cherry brandy Footnote
  • 1 tbsp. raw sugar
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup milk

Directions

  • In a small saucepan on low heat, add cherry brandy and keep it warm until needed – don’t let it simmer.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, add raw sugar and cornstarch. Pour in the milk and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the cherries to the cornstarch mixture, gently stir to coat and warm them up, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the warm brandy. Either flambé it for 15 seconds or cook for about 45 to 60 seconds.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
