Susan's Notes:

A little about performing Flambes':

They are fun, just becareful and know what and how you are supposed to do this carefully.

 

Directions

1
Spoon flaming brandied pineapple sauce over chicken and fruit pieces for a special Chicken jubilee Family or guest dinner.
2
To prepare a flambe' dish, combine brandy or other alcoholic spirits such as rum or kirsch with a sauce, then ignite the sauce and spoon it over a desert or main dish.

Sometimes a highly alcoholic flavoring extract or a sugar cube soaked in spirits is flamed.

The spirits are usually warmed before adding to sauce and igniting.

Ignite the sauce with a match, keeping your face clear of the high flames.

Then spoon sauce over food. ***(a sauce high in butter or sugar content will produce a higher flame than will an ordinary sauce.)
3
A splendid effect is achieved at the end of a dinner by serving a flamed dessert.

The alcohol vanishes during burning, leaving the food with a subtle spirit flavor.

LOL no you wouldn't! I made Cherries Jubilee once in front of probably 15-16 women. They were wide eyed as I did it. It came off without a hitch. You just have to be careful and have confidence it will all go well.

I made the Chicken Jubilee recipe following this posting, when I visited my daughter in Maine once, we had several other people for dinner and It went great. Of course, all were impressed! It is just that type of situation...you can't help but get the oh's and ah's....lol I needed attention back then...it worked!! LOL

Have a great day Ellen!
