This is a lovely way of using tamarillos as they go brilliantly with the sweetness of the vanilla-flavoured syrup.
Instructions
Combine the wine and sugar in a large pot and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
Add the water, vanilla bean and tamarillos. Bring to a simmer and cook for around 20 minutes, until the liquid starts to thicken.
Remove the tamarillos and set aside, then turn up the heat and simmer the liquid until it becomes syrupy.
Serve the tamarillos with the syrup spooned over, and a blob of cream, yoghurt or ice cream.
