In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the cherry mixture and stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cherries are soft and the mixture has thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the cherry compote cool before serving.
