Cherries Jubilee
The kids and the kids’ kids were coming for dinner this past week. The requested meal, by unanimous decree, was slow-roasted pork ribs. Cooking the ribs at 275 degrees for 3 hours allows the dry rub to flavor the meat without the ribs becoming fatty or sticky. Teamed with au gratin potatoes, salad and homemade French rolls; this was a comfort meal to remember as a heavy rain set in. After all of this we wanted a dessert that was tasty but kid friendly. We omitted the brandy and the flaming due to the grandkids. With or without the flames this a great dessert and really easy to put together.
