Ingredients:

1                   bag frozen dark sweet cherries - (16 oz)
2     cups          cherry juice
1     tablespoon    cherry juice
1/2   cup           dried tart cherries
3     tablespoons   sugar
1                   vanilla bean
1     tablespoon    arrowroot
1/4   cup           thin matchstick-size strips orange peel
1/3   cup           kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1     quart         vanilla or cherry-vanilla-swirl ice cream

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Place sieve over bowl. Add thawed cherries; let drain. Pour drained juices into heavy medium skillet (set cherries aside). Mix 2 cups cherry juice, dried cherries and sugar into same skillet. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Boil sauce until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
Mix arrowroot with remaining 1 tablespoon juice in small bowl. Whisk into sauce. Boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Discard vanilla bean. Mix in drained cherries and orange peel.
Heat kirsch in skillet over low heat. Remove from heat. Carefully ignite kirsch with match. Carefully pour flaming kirsch into sauce. Scoop ice cream into bowls. Spoon sauce over.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
Comments: Flaming desserts-like this one and crepes suzette-were all the rage at fine dining establishments in the sixties. The title here refers to the sweet cherries, dried cherries and cherry juice -- enhanced by vanilla bean and orange peel -- that provide such terrific flavor.
