1
Prepare the Cherries
Wash and pit the fresh cherries, then place them in a medium saucepan.
2
Combine Ingredients
Add sugar and vanilla extract to the saucepan with the cherries. Stir gently to mix.

3
Cook the Cherries
Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cherries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Flambé
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the brandy. Return to the heat and ignite the brandy to flambé, allowing the flames to subside naturally.

5
Plate the Dessert
Spoon the flambéed cherries over scoops of vanilla ice cream in serving bowls.
6
Enjoy
Serve immediately while the cherries are warm and enjoy your Cherries Jubilee!
