Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans whole Bing cherries in juice, drained and
juice reserved
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup kirsch or cognac, warmed
2 pints vanilla ice cream
Instructions
In a small dish, combine a
little cherry juice with sugar and cornstarch. In a skillet, heat juice from cherries over
moderate heat. Add cornstarch mixture. When juice thickens, add cherries to warm through.
Pour in warmed liqueur, then flame the pan to burn off alcohol. Remove cherries from heat.
