Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1 (1/4-inch-thick) lemon slice
1 tablespoon cornstarch stirred with 2 tablespoons cold water
2 pints strawberries (1 1/2 lb), trimmed and large berries halved
1/4 cup kirsch
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Bring water, sugar, vanilla bean, and lemon slice to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil 5 minutes.
  • Remove vanilla bean and lemon slice from sugar syrup with a slotted spoon, then reduce heat to moderate. Stir cornstarch mixture and whisk into syrup, then simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add strawberries, then boil 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a gratin or chafing dish. Heat kirsch in a small saucepan over moderate heat until warm. Remove from heat, then carefully ignite kirsch with a kitchen match and pour, still flaming, over warm berries. When flames die out, serve immediately, over ice cream.

I was looking for a strawberry dessert recipe, and this one seemed promising. However, I was disappointed with the result. The strawberries were undercooked, and the sauce was too thick. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I made this for my family, and they all gave it rave reviews! The strawberries were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was out of this world. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like this recipe, but I found it to be a bit too bland. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I've tried this recipe several times, and it always comes out perfect. The strawberries are always perfectly ripe and juicy, and the sauce is so rich and delicious.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too sweet for my taste, and the strawberries were mushy.

Such a fun and impressive dessert! The flaming strawberries were a real showstopper. It was also really easy to make, which is always a bonus.

I substituted white wine for cognac, and it still turned out great! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the strawberries still had a nice bite to them.

Amazing recipe! The strawberries were perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness and tartness, and the sauce with cognac gave it incredible depth of flavor. Definitely a keeper!
