Ingredients

• 2 2 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 2 12 cups fresh cherries (pitted) or 12 oz frozen cherries (drained)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 vanilla bean (sliced lengthwise and scraped)
• pinch pinch of salt
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup brandy
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 orange (zested, juiced)
• 1 1 1 pint vanilla gelato (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

In a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, add butter. Once bubbling, add cherries, sugar, scraped vanilla bean and pinch of salt. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, add brandy and ignite. Extinguish flames by squeezing a 1/4 of your orange into the pan. Add zest of half the orange and set aside.
Scoop ice cream into serving bowls. Pour cherries over ice cream and serve immediately.
Tip: If fresh cherries are not available, substitute with frozen! Frozen will release more liquid, so cook an additional 5-8 minutes, until glaze-like, then add the brandy!
