Original Receipt in the ‘Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery ‘ by Auguste Escoffier (See: Escoffier);

JUBILEE CHERRIES
Stone some fine cherries; poach them in syrup, and set them in small silver timbales. Reduce the syrup and thicken it with a little arrowroot, diluted with cold water; allowing one table-spoonful of arrowroot per half-pint of syrup. Cover the cherries with the thickened syrup; pour a coffee-spoonful of heated Kirsch into each timbale, and set a light to each when serving.
