Hot cherries in boozy sauce tumbled over vanilla ice cream - how gorgeous is that? This modern adaptation of the recipe, invented by French chef Escoffier for Queen Victoria on her Golden Jubilee, differs by not being set alight as it's served. But on the plus side it does have ice cream!

  • 500g whole cherries, stalks removed
  • 500g vanilla ice cream

Method: How to make cherries jubilee

1. Measure out 100ml water and mix 1 tablespoon with the arrowroot to form a paste. Add the rest of the water to a pan with the cassis, orange zest and juice. Bring to the boil and stir in the paste. Stir until thick and clear.

  1. read the recipe again - you add 1tbsp of the 100ml and add it to 1tbsp of arrowroot. you put the remaining water (100ml minus 1tbsp) in with the cassis. I agree it could be a little clearer.
