Today marks National Cherries Jubilee Day, a lighthearted culinary observance dedicated to one of the more theatrical desserts in classic cooking history. Cherries jubilee combines sweet cherries, often cooked down into a rich syrup, with a splash of liqueur that is then carefully ignited tableside to produce a brief but dramatic flame, before being served warm over vanilla ice cream.
