Brandied Cherries

Oh, this is good! Easy and sophisticated.

Steps

Cut cherries in half and pit them , working over a bowl to catch the juices.
Set aside.
In a small heavy saucepan over medium high heat , bring the sugar and 1 / 4 cup of brandy to boil , stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Continue boiling , without stirring , until the liquid is reduced to about 1 / 4 cup , about 5 minutes.
Add the cherries and their juices to the pan , reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the cherries are just heated through and slightly softened , about 1 minute.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of brandy and remove from the heat.
Set aside for at least 5 minutes to cool slightly and allow the flavors to meld.
Spoon the warm cherries and sauce over the ice cream.
