This is an old school classic, making use of the woefully underutilized art of flambe. Flambeing caramelizes sugars and deepens flavors; with ripe summer cherries, that's really all you need.

Steps:
- Evenly scoop the ice cream into 4 dishes or decorative glasses and put in the freezer until ready to serve (this can be done up to 4 hours ahead).
- Wash and pit the cherries. Put the cherries and sugar in a large skillet. Peel 2 strips of zest from the lemon in wide strips with a peeler and add to the cherries. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top. Stir to combine evenly. Cover and cook the cherries over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high until cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
- To flambe the rum: If cooking over a gas flame, pull the pan off the heat and add the rum. Ignite the alcohol with a long match or one held with tongs. Swirl the pan slightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
- If cooking over an electric stove, put the rum in a small saucepan. Warm it over medium-low heat and carefully light it with a long match or one held with tongs. Pour the lit rum over the cherries, and swirl the pan lightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.
- Ladle the cherries and their juices over prepared ice cream scoops. Serve immediately.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster. The sauce never thickened and the cherries were mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the sauce to thicken, but it eventually came together. The cherries were a little tart, but I liked the contrast with the sweet sauce.

[email protected]The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but the cherries were delicious. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
