Cherry Jubilee Sundae Recipes

Steps:

• Evenly scoop the ice cream into 4 dishes or decorative glasses and put in the freezer until ready to serve (this can be done up to 4 hours ahead).
• Wash and pit the cherries. Put the cherries and sugar in a large skillet. Peel 2 strips of zest from the lemon in wide strips with a peeler and add to the cherries. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top. Stir to combine evenly. Cover and cook the cherries over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high until cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
• To flambe the rum: If cooking over a gas flame, pull the pan off the heat and add the rum. Ignite the alcohol with a long match or one held with tongs. Swirl the pan slightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
• If cooking over an electric stove, put the rum in a small saucepan. Warm it over medium-low heat and carefully light it with a long match or one held with tongs. Pour the lit rum over the cherries, and swirl the pan lightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
• Ladle the cherries and their juices over prepared ice cream scoops. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the cherries, sugar and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet and stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
• Mix together the rum and kirschwasser in a measuring cup, then add to the cherries. Ignite the alcohol with a long match and swirl the pan slightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds. Serve the warm cherries and their juices over ice cream.

Steps:

• Place the brownies and ice cream in chilled bowls and set aside in the refrigerator. Thaw and strain the frozen cherries. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the juice from the frozen cherries, brandy and the cornstarch. In a saute pan, over high heat, melt the butter and sugar. Add the fresh and frozen cherries. Carefully pour in the brandy mixture. If it does not burst into flames spontaneously, ignite with a match. Gently swirl the pan. Soak the sugar cubes in the rum. Pour the cherries around the ice cream. Top with a glob of marshmallow cream and plant a sugar cube on top. Light the cube with a match.
• Marshmallow Cream: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup of the sugar to 246 degrees F (firm ball). In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy, and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.

Steps:

• 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. Scoop vanilla ice cream into large cocktail glasses or dessert dishes and spoon cherries down over ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves. Add the cherries, orange juice, and orange zest. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. In a small cup, stir the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the cherry mixture and cook for 1 minute, until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the brandy over the cherries. Place the pan back on the heat and carefully shake the pan several times to ignite the pan. If the pan does not light, use a match to flame the cherries. Divide the ice cream between 6 shallow bowls. Spoon the cherry mixture over the ice cream and serve.
