“Vanilla bean paste”
You reminded me, I bought some at Trader Joe’s yesterday. I wanted to open and sniff it and I forgot.
If you don’t mind, post or send a link to the bean to buy. Want to make sure I get good ones and I’m sure you have investigated them.
Vanilla and other extracts
I’ve only bought beans once so my opinion isn’t based on comparison. The end results were good. I made vanilla, orange and almond extract
Sent you a pic of what I used.
Note one of the recipes said use cheapest vodka you can find. I don’t agree with that. Similarly recipes that tell you to use “cooking wine” use only wine you would drink or serve company.
Same with vodka. I used Grey goose
I bottled up 4-2 oz of each flavor
Kept one set
Gave 2 sets for Christmas gifts
1set for birthday in a few weeks
Posting all this here as others might take the dive - like spunky- and try something new.
I use extracts in many things. Put orange n vanilla in pancakes. Orange or vanilla in brownies or cho cake
Almond in cherry chocolate cake
Almond in cherry pie
