How do you reduce brandy on the stove?

You have to be careful about doing this, you must keep the temperature of the pan below the flash point of the brandy (sorry, I don't know what this temperature is).

So keep the burner low, stir constantly, don't walk away, don't take your eyes off the pan, and adjust the temperature downward as necessary.
