1/2 cup dried peaches, diced
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation

Combine 6 cups water, apricots, peaches, sugar, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the fruit is tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir together cornstarch and the remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small dish. Add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering soup, stirring constantly until the soup thickens slightly.
