MakingVanilla

You just bought a bag of high quality vanilla beans, now what? This is a great site on how to make high quality vanilla bean extract, paste and sugar. Remember if you want to make it a Christmas gift it takes 3 to 6 months for the full flavor of extract to form which means you need to start soon. Also don't go cheap on the Vodka buy Smirnoff or better. I followed this recipe to the letter and was very pleased! Amazon.com using a vendor called Vanilla Products USA had great results from the beans.
