Sounds appetizing? Well, I thought I should still figure out a way to use these cherries that were just slightly mushy rather than throw them all away. I got busy tearing the pits out of the cherries and getting dark, red juice all over me and the counter. I poured a bit of granulated sugar and water in a pan to start boiling and each pitted cherry was put in the sugar bath. I let it boil and then added a drop of left over Armagnac and poured in some Kirsch as well. It started to look and smell really good. In the middle of breaking open cherries I put some vanilla ice cream on the counter. I also took Oreo cookies and mashed them into the bottom of ramekins as a "crust" and extra flavor for my creation. With the cookies on the bottom, I put the softened ice cream in the pots. Once the cherries cooled I added them on top. I placed the dessert in the freezer.
We all really enjoyed it. I got "mmmm" from my toddler. And, we named the dessert "dirty cherry." A nice ending to a warm evening's dinner.
