Vanilla Extract

Sep

I thought I read somewhere in CITR that someone was using home made vanilla extract. Is this true, or am I delusional? If true, recipe please? (If delusional, never mind.)

    Here is the link the Suzann’s tutorial on making the homemade vanilla. She also has a link at the bottom of the recipe for making it in bigger batches. I had my vanilla beans, I just have to get my “liquid” to make mine. lol

    LOL! No you’re not delusional, bonita! Suzanne did a couple blogs posts on making homemade vanilla extract.

    They’re copied over here now:

    OH I need to order vanilla beans and get some of this brewing soon! And I was pondering what bottles to get to package this for gifts and remembered – I have single-serve wine bottles with screw tops that I once stashed for ketchup – perfect!

    I have used brandy in place of vodka and it is WONDERFUL!

    I have a bottle in the top of my pantry right now. It should be just right for Christmas baking!

    I am excited—I finally bought the vodka to make my vanilla!! Yahoo. I was suprised to see that most of the bottle were no longer glass, but plastic. When did that happen—I guess it’s been a while since I have bought any of the hard stuff–lol. I looked until I found a brand in a glass bottle. I guess I just wanted the old fashioned effect, not plastic.

    I use bourbon for my homemade vanilla…it gives it a little more punch in the flavor. I’ve also used vodka in the past. I’ve been making it myself for about 9 years.

    • Imperious Fig says:

      I forgot…I use 6 – 9 split vanilla beans for 1 litre of bourbon. I age it for at least two weeks (longer if possible) before using it. I actually make a new bottle when I’m about halfway through one I’m currently using. I keep the “soaked” vanilla beans from the finished bottle (with a little of the vanilla at the bottom) to scrape the seeds into my creme brulee.
