Making and Canning Cherries Jubilee
This Cherries Jubilee recipe is easy to can at home and is always a nice
surprise for drop-in guests. After opening, simply bring it to a simmer, add and
heat 1/2 brandy for pints and 1 cup for quarts, and then flambee. Serve over
ice cream or cake.
Remember to follow food safety instructions and select blemish free fruit. We
always prefer organic fruit without pesticides. We add lemon juice to most
recipes to help protect the color.
