with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons currant jelly
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 (17-ounce) cans pitted sweet cherries
• 1/3 cup Cognac or Armagnac
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, combine the sugar and butter. Set over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the jelly and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the cherries and bring to a boil. Add the Cognac and heat 30 seconds longer. Standing away from the pan and using a long match, carefully ignite the cherries.

2. When flames die down, spoon the cherries and sauce over scoops of ice cream in individual dessert bowls. Serve immediately.
