• WARM CHERRY SAUCE:.
• Bring preserves and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat, add the kirsch(or other liqeuer, if using other fruit preserves).
• Carefully ignite with a long match or just warm through(I think the latter is safer, at home).

• Either way it will look lovely and taste even better.
