Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool; discard vanilla bean. Cover and refrigerate for a least 1 day or up to 1 week for fruit to absorb flavors. Serve warmed over ice cream, pound cake slices or plain yogurt.
