Cherries Jubilee is a classic dessert that features fresh cherries cooked in a sweet sauce, often made with sugar and red wine or brandy. The dish is typically served warm and is known for its vibrant red color and rich flavor. To create the signature presentation, the cherries are flambéed, meaning they are ignited briefly to enhance the taste and create a dramatic effect. Traditionally, Cherries Jubilee is served over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing the warm cherries to melt into the cold ice cream, creating a delightful contrast in temperature and flavor.
