Making Vanilla





Vanilla! Just the word conjures up delicious thoughts. Can you almost smell it? Me too! And cooking with vanilla produces heavenly culinary results... and the added bonus of a house that that smells good enough to eat!

Good vanilla is quite expensive and  imitation vanilla quite unacceptable! I've always had a notion to make my own vanilla and recently I found this Vanilla Infusion Kit at HomeGoods.





The process is so easy and the results will prove to be so incredibly fabulous! I want to share how to make your own Vanilla Infusion Kit and have a 7 year supply of delicious, beautiful vanilla!


StoneGable Vanilla Infusion Kit
jar with lid that hold approximately 1 1/2 cups
3 large vanilla beans (they are really pods)
good quality vodka

Wash jar with hot sudsy water and rinse well.
Split vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp knife.





Put beans in the clean jar.




Fill jar with vodka. Can you see those darling flavorful seeds!



Store for 4-6 months. Now your vanilla, that you made, is ready to use!

 Replace the vanilla, as you use it, with vodka.



It should last for 7 years!!!!

Now that's a bargain!
