½ cup to 1 cup water

1 vanilla bean, split with pods removed

¼ cup raw honey

1 cup Southern Swiss Dairy heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Combine the peaches, cherries, wine, vanilla bean, and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook until fruit is tender, then remove with a slotted spoon. Add the honey to the pot, and continue to reduce until the liquid has thickened. Add the fruit back to the pot and toss to coat. Meanwhile, in a stand mixer, whip the cream and powdered sugar together until thickened and fluffy. To serve, scoop the fruit into serving dishes with a slotted spoon and top with the whipped cream.
