How to Make Cherries Poached In Vanilla Cerises Poches

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1 vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped), and the zest of 1 lemon.
  2. Place over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Increase the heat to high and bring the syrup to a rolling boil.
  4. Gently stir in 1 pound fresh cherries and the juice of ½ lemon.
  5. Cover the saucepan with a lid slightly smaller than the diameter of the pan to keep the cherries submerged in the syrup.
  6. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the cherries are tender but still hold their shape.
  7. Remove from heat and allow the cherries to cool completely in the syrup, still covered.
  8. Once cooled, transfer the cherries and syrup to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  9. Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream (optional).
