  2. Let the vanilla pulp and bean together with the juice come to a boil. Dissolve starch in 3-4 tbsp water and add to the boiling juice. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
  3. Add the prepared fruits (and liquor if you like) to the hot juice mix and let them heat up but make sure not to overcook them. So I recommend to remove the fruits from the stove once they are all covered by the hot juice. Don't cook it for more than 1-2 minutes. Add sugar to taste (I used only 2 tbsp this time since the fruits were already super sweet).
  4. Store in a container, let come to room temperature and then store it in the refrigerator (should be good for a week atl least).
