Mango with Vanilla Bean Syrup
Inspired by a recipe from Donna Hay Magazine, Issue #48
Serves 2

1 mango, peeled
1/2 sugar
1/4 water
1/4 vanilla bean

In a small sauce pan, add the sugar and water.
Take the vanilla bean and cut it in half vertically. Scrape the seeds out of both sides and add to the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and reduce to a low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Using a paring knife peel the mango. Take a vegetable peeler and cut nice long strips of mango.
Arange on a plate. Pour the syrup over the mango and serve immediately.

You could also try with other fruits...in the magazine they used papaya but really any soft fruit would work great.
