How to Make Fresh Cherries Jubilee Sauce
- Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice to the saucepan.
- Whisk until the sugar and cornstarch are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups fresh cherries (pitted) and 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are tender and the sauce has thickened further.
- In a separate small saucepan, gently heat 1/4 cup brandy. Carefully pour the warm brandy over the cherry sauce. If desired, ignite the brandy using a long match or lighter (**Always exercise caution when working with flames**). Let the flames die down completely before serving.
- Serve warm over your favorite dessert. Enjoy!
