Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 pound cherries, washed and pitted (Fresh is best, frozen works also)
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

In a bowl combine the sugar and cornstarch. I a skillet, over medium-high heat add the orange zest, orange juice, and sugar mixture. When it thickens add the cherries and stir them in.
