Tips:

Use a wide, shallow pan for the cherries jubilee. This will allow the cherries to cook evenly and will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Be sure to use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor.
If you don't have kirschwasser, you can use another cherry liqueur or brandy.
When you flambé the cherries jubilee, be careful not to let the flames get too high. You want to flambé the cherries for just a few seconds, until the alcohol has burned off.
Serve the cherries jubilee immediately, while it is still warm. It can be served over ice cream, pound cake, or crepes.
