Home-Made Vanilla Extract

 

Ingredients

2 whole vanilla beans
1 1/2 cup vodka (the cheap-o stuff works just, fine)
1/2 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar



 

Preparation

Anyone interested in a recipe for home-made vanilla extract? It makes
a fun gift for Christmas, packaged in a small jar with ribbon around
neck, included recipe for same, a bag of brownie or cookie mix which
requires vanilla and a brownie pan. It IS alcohol-based. Perhaps
someone has another recipe for one that does not require alcohol?
Could this be one of those "chemistry" things again? I apologize for
typing this in as I still haven't made friends with my software but
folks who know how to doctor it to adapt to their recipe pgm. will
find it a tasty and CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP Holiday idea. Better start it
now, though! It takes about 7 weeks to "steep" it but you can fudge a
little on that timing, I'm sure.

VANILLA EXTRACT

In a 3 cup glass container with a tight fitting lid, combine vanilla
beans with the vodka. Cap and allow to "steep" at room temperature
for three weeks. Remove vanilla beans and strain liquid through a
cheesecloth, if necessary. In a medium saucepan, combine water and
sugar, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil and sugar
dissolves. Remove from heat and cool. Stir into vodka that has been
strained. Pour mixture into a bottle; cap and allow to sit at room
temperature one month. Yield:2 cups vanilla extract
