- 1 vanilla bean or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cup white grape juice

- 1 cup cinnamon stick
- 1 cup (8 ounces) frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
- 1 cup (6 ounces) frozen mango, thawed and drained

Preparation
Baking Directions:
Using a paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and place in a large saucepan.
Add the empty vanilla pod, grape juice, star anise, cinnamon stick and orange zest.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the strawberries, mango and peaches.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the fruit to cool completely in the syrup, about 1 hour (can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated).
To serve, remove the vanilla pod, star anise and cinnamon stick from the syrup and discard.
Mound the shaved ice in 4 small bowls and drizzle with the syrup.
Spoon the fruit on top and serve.
