How to Make Cranberries Jubilee

  1. Combine 1 cup sugar and ½ cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  3. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. Add 12 ounces (about 2 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries to the saucepan and bring back to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Transfer the cranberry sauce to a heatproof bowl or chafing dish.
  7. In a separate small saucepan, gently heat ¼ cup brandy over low heat. **Important:** Never heat brandy over high heat or near an open flame until ready to flambé.
  8. Carefully ignite the brandy (using a long match or lighter). Pour the flaming brandy over the cranberry mixture. **Caution:** Stand back as the brandy will ignite and flame up. Never leave unattended.
  9. Quickly and gently stir the brandy into the cranberry sauce to blend. The flames will extinguish naturally. Serve the Cranberry Jubilee immediately over your favorite ice cream or dessert.
