1
Prepare the Cherries
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and cook until the cherries are soft and the sugar has dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Flambé the Cherries
Once the cherries are cooked, carefully add the Kirsch to the pan. Using a long lighter or match, ignite the alcohol to flambé. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off.
3
Serve
Spoon the cherries and sauce over vanilla ice cream if desired. Serve immediately, ideally table-side for a dramatic presentation.
