goodbye/fun facts....National Cherries Jubilee Day...A jubilee is a fancy party, usually where everyone wears big hats. Jubilees are traditionally hosted to celebrate events like a queen's reign. cherries jubilee was first served in the 1800's at one of the jubliee celebrations for queen victoria...and the popularity skyrocketed. This classic dessert is served a flambé, which means that the dish is literally set alight when it hits the table. Though dramatic and impressive, this fire doesn't really affect the taste of the dessert. After the cherries are poached in syrup, they are mixed with alcohol, traditionally brandy...When the dish is set on fire, this alcohol burns so quickly that the flames flare up and burn out without damaging the cherries at all. The end result is a warmer, more caramelized cherry concoction that still has some of that liqueur flavor left over.
