desserts

1 cup fresh cherries; pitted
1/4 cup warmed brandy
2 tablespoon kirschwasser
1 pint french vanilla ice cream

Heat the cherries in a glass pyrex double boiler bottom. Ignite the brandy in a large spoon and pour over the cherries. Stir constantly until the flame dies and then add the Kirschwasser. Serve over a rich Vanilla Ice Cream. This was how they made it at Trader Vics in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA in the late 1970's. From the personal MM recipe database of Sandy Gamble
