- Put the juice and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer until reduced by about two-thirds, syrupy and thick (be careful as it can easily catch and caramelise at this stage – it should remain purple-red and not begin to brown). Set aside to cool completely (or cool and chill for up to 3 days).
- To assemble the salad, arrange the watermelon and cherries on a serving platter. Remove the vanilla pod from the syrup, then drizzle over the salad and scatter over the mint.
