Recipes of the Month

Vanilla

Sand Dollar Sweets and Treats

Ingredients

• 5 Grade A Vanilla Beans
• 8oz Alcohol - Vodka, Light Rum, and Bourbon all work beautifully
• Clean bottles to store the elixir

Directions

1. Cut your beans up and put them in your jar. I used a pair of scissors, and sliced them in half lengthwise, then cut them into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces. If you are making more than one flavor of Vanilla, be sure to label your jars as you add the cut-up beans.
2. Add the Alcohol of choice. Slowly pour enough alcohol into the jars until they are full.
3. Screw the lid on fairly tight, and give it a little shake.
4. Set in a dark corner, cupboard or bookshelf. Occasionally, shake the contents of the jar. Maybe once or twice a week, give the jar a good shake. You'll see the color change from clear to a honey brown to a very dark brown in about a month.
5. If after a month your vanilla isn't dark brown, you may need to add some more vanilla beans to your jar. I doubled the amount after a month and am pleased with my end product.
6. Let sit for a total of two to three months before using.
7. Strain out the Vanilla Beans and return the completed Vanilla Extract to your jars.
8. Bake away using your new homemade Vanilla!
