Cherries jubilee is a dessert dish made with cherries and liqueur (typically Kirschwasser) which is subsequently flambéed and commonly served as a sauce over vanilla ice cream.The recipe is generally credited to Auguste Escoffier who prepared the dish for one of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee celebrations though it is unclear whether it was for the Golden Jubilee of 1887 or the Diamond Jubilee in 1897.[citation needed]There have been many variations on the idea of flambéed fruit since Escoffier’s time the most famous being Bananas Foster.
