A Cherry On Top

Cherries Jubilee Day

 

 

I’m not sure about this one.

Cherries, straight from the bowl

on a summer’s day – I like!

Cherries in a can…

cherries glazed…

cherries processed in any way –

 I don’t like.

 

Cherries Jubilee Day

makes me think of a pie…

 filled with soft, mooshy cherries.

Let’s check…

Pretty much - it's a

cherries in a can,

cooked with stuff ... sauce.

It all started at the

Golden Jubilee in 1887.

(Or 1897 – no one’s sure!)

French chef Auguste Escoffie

was cooking for Queen Victoria.

 The queen loved his dessert

and it quickly became a huge hit…

cherry jubilee.

So, what do you need

to make a dessert fit for a queen?

A can of cherries, sugar, cornstarch,

brandy and icecream.

 

While the can of cherries bit

has me ready to look for

 a different dessert,

I am secretly pleased

about the cooking process…

You do stuff and mix stuff and then…

You ignite the sauce!

Ignite it!

You know you want to!
