Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- Add the pears, cherries, sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepot and mix to coat the fruit. Add the red wine, star anise and salt. Place the saucepot over direct heat, bring the mixture to a boil and cook, simmering, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepot from the heat and add the red wine vinegar. Discard the star anise. Let cool slightly.
- Serve by spooning over some vanilla bean ice cream.
- (Alternatively, you can poach the fruit over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)
STAR ANISE ICE CREAM
Star anise's licorice-like flavor is what sets this ice cream apart. This version is adapted from the one served at Geordy's restaurant in San Francisco, where the custard is made with all cream, no milk. Time given does not include chilling time for the custard. For the freezing time I'm going by my ice cream machine, yours may be different.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, the cream, the sugar, and the star anise, bring the mixture just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat.
- In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170ºF on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely.
- Stir in the Pernod and freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:
- Make your vanilla ice cream base and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the ice cream. Have the bowl to your ice cream maker sitting in the freezer over night. To make the strawberry swirl Put the red wine, strawberries, sugar and star anise pods in a non reactive sauce pan and simmer until the strawberries have totally broken down and the red wine has turned into a syrup. Cool this mixture completely. Pour the vanilla base into the ice cream maker and follow the directions on your icecream maker for freezing. When the ice cream is mostly solid pour in the strawberry ripple. Pour the ice cream into a container and finish freezing it solid in the freezer.
STAR ANISE ICE CREAM
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, star anise, and vanilla bean to a simmer for a few minutes. Turn off, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together, long enough to dissolve the sugar.
- Temper hot liquid into egg mixture. Return all back into saucepan. Over low heat stirring all the while until mixture starts to thicken, strain through chinois. Chill immediately over ice bath.
- Churn in a standard ice cream machine.
CHEF JOHN'S STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM
Many people consider this type of strawberry ice cream recipe a 'hack' or a 'cheat' because we're skipping the more time-consuming and sometimes temperamental egg-custard step; but even if I didn't want to save time I'd still prefer this method. To be clear, I'm only speaking about this specific flavor of ice cream. For deep, dark chocolate, or butter pecan, I'll take the classic French-style every time. But, for sweet, juicy strawberries, I'm not a big fan of the egginess you get with the traditional method.

Tips:
- Utilize ripe strawberries: The natural sweetness and flavor of ripe strawberries are crucial for the success of this recipe. Choose berries that are plump, red, and have a fragrant aroma.
- Balance the flavors: Strawberries, red wine, and star anise are the key ingredients that contribute to the unique flavor profile of this ice cream. Make sure to use high-quality red wine that complements the sweetness of the strawberries. Additionally, the star anise adds a subtle licorice-like flavor, so adjust its quantity based on your preference.
- Chill the ice cream base thoroughly: Chilling the ice cream base before churning helps it churn faster and results in a smoother texture. Make sure to chill the base for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Churn the ice cream according to your machine's instructions: Different ice cream makers have different churning times. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the ice cream is churned properly.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours: Once churned, the ice cream should be transferred to a freezer-safe container and frozen for at least 4 hours to allow it to fully set and develop its flavors.
