    1 Combine the wine and sugar in a large pot and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.

    3 Remove the tamarillos and set aside, then turn up the heat and simmer the liquid until it becomes syrupy.

    4 Serve the tamarillos with the syrup spooned over, and a blob of cream, yoghurt or ice cream.

    If you don’t have a vanilla bean, use a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
