Vanilla

Looks like a lot of alcohol, doesn't it?  well, don't worry, I can explain.

Do you do much baking and have your priced vanilla lately?  Then you know how expensive it is. 

I knew Nina had made some vanilla a while back and wondered if she had any to spare.  She did not have a whole lot of vanilla made up, but she did have 1/4 pound of whole vanilla beans.
 And she gave them to me!  of course she knows there will plenty of vanilla that I will share when I get this batch made. 



 So,  Jeff helped me pick out some vodka and rum at the liquor store.  He even split all the vanilla beans and bottled them all up. 
In 6 months,  we will have lots of vanilla!

  3. I've always wanted to make my own vanilla and I knew to use vodka but I had no idea you could use rum too.

  5. You can do LOTS of baking with that much vanilla! Yes, it is quite expensive and so are vanilla beans, so you are very blessed to have someone give them to you! Have a Merry Christmas, Rhonda!!!

  7. I have used vodka the 2 times I made it. Giving some for gifts this year. It was started on 1-17-10. I have also seen where some people use bourbon. I guess 2 years I first made it and then last year a few were expecting it and I didn't know that they really liked it so did it this year.
