Instructions

Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife.
In a saucepan, heat the water with the sugar, the seeds and the pod.
Bring to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for 5 minutes until you have a clear syrup.
Peel the fruit if needed and cut into quarters or even pieces.
Put the fruit into the hot syrup and poach for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how firm it is.
Take off the heat, let it cool in the syrup, then keep in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Variations and tips

Rosé syrup. Replace half the water with light rosé wine for a fruitier flavour.
