Steps to Perfect Poached Vanilla Tamarillos:

1. Prepping the Tamarillos:
   Begin by gently scoring the skin of the tamarillos. Create an ‘X’ at the base of each fruit.
2. Vanilla Syrup Creation:
   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Gently heat until the sugar is dissolved. Split the vanilla bean down its length, scraping out the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it now.
3. Poaching Process:
   Once your vanilla syrup is ready, immerse the tamarillos into the saucepan. Let them poach for about 10-15 minutes on a gentle simmer. Ensure the fruits are submerged but not breaking apart.
4. Cooling:
   After the poaching process, remove the tamarillos with a slotted spoon and allow them to cool. The skin should peel off easily.
5. Serving:
   You can now serve the poached vanilla tamarillos either warm or chilled, based on your preference. The vanilla-infused syrup can be drizzled over the top.

Quick Tips:

1. Choose ripe but firm tamarillos for best results.
2. If you’re not a fan of strong vanilla flavor, adjust the quantity of vanilla bean or extract to your taste.
3. Poached vanilla tamarillos can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. They taste even better after soaking in the vanilla syrup overnight!

Serving and Eating Suggestions:

• Taste Enhancer: Serve your poached vanilla tamarillos with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for added texture.
• Dessert Option: The poached tamarillos are a great addition to fruit salads or can be used as a pie filling.
• Refreshing Drink: You can use the leftover vanilla syrup as a sweetener in iced teas or sparkling water.
