Homemade Vanilla Extract

Recipe Description
This delightful homemade vanilla extract is easy to make and perfect for gift-giving.
Preparation Instructions
For each jar of extract you would like to make:
Slice three vanilla beans down the center, being careful not to cut through them so that they will release their seeds. Place all 3 vanilla beans into each jar and then fill each jar with vodka. Don’t quite fill to the top.
Place the lids on tightly. Store them in a dark and cool place. Give the jars a good shake once a week. Vanilla extract will be ready to use in approximately 8 weeks.
Buon Appetito!
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750ml Bottle) Good Quality Vodka
- 3 whole Vanilla Beans Per Container
- 10 jars (Small Jars) With Tight-fitting Lids

Banana Curd
by WickedCreations and filed in Canning
When life gives you over-ripe bananas, don’t go conventional, make Banana Curd instead! It’s creamy, dreamy and ohhhh so rich! Great as a spread alone but also great in fillings for desserts, rolls or just use your imagination! This is by far the best tropical curd!

This festive, sugar-free alternative to jam exudes luscious winter warmth. Spread it on walnut bread or your favorite whole-grain toast. If you’re feeling adventurous, butcher a pumpkin, steam the flesh and use the puree so you can brag about it to your friends! Makes great holiday gifts.

I have done this many times. It’s great. My husband likes to add some to his coke.
roby on 1.27.2010
Can I use this extract in all the recipes? I’m afraid for Vodka…
Tks for your reply
doridori on 1.29.2010
Is this as rich as the vanilla you buy? would you use the same amounts as called for in recipies? Thank you.
bell'alimento on 2.7.2010
Ciao Roby! Yes you can. I’m not an expert ; ) but to my knowledge alcohol is used to make all pure vanilla extracts. Some people use Rum, others Bourbon, Vodka, etc. Hope that helps.
bell'alimento on 2.7.2010
Ciao DoriDori! Yes I use the same amount as I would for storebought Pure Vanilla Extract. After the 8 weeks of steeping they’re a beautiful dark hue & smell divine!

i LOVE to make my own extract. Usually I use bourbon instead of vodka. The flavor is out of this world!!
SassyStephanie on 2.21.2010
Got some of this for Christmas for a neighbor. I just ordered my vanilla beans to make my own! Thanks for the recipe!
brandysvensson on 3.3.2010
I also do this at home and it is wonderful! I usually keep a bottle in the back of the cabinet and try to forget about it for a few months. Would love to start another one with bourbon!
catonine on 3.10.2010
I have seen this recipe before and have a couple friends who make their own. They use 6 beans to the bottle of [RUM] and just remove enough of the RUM to not over flow the bottle. slice the beans like the recipe above, place into the RUM bottle and place in a cool dark place for 2 months.
If you can get a hold of some of the mini bottles of ‘Airline’ alcohol bottles they would probably take 1/2 a bean and make a great party favor.
flutterbygirl on 3.10.2010
I’ve been wanting to do this for sooooo long! I have two questions…
1. What do you mean by slicing the pod so the beans don’t come out? Is it obvious once you get the bean ? (I’ve never sliced a bean before)…
2. I read from other vanilla extract recipes that you can top off with your choice of alcohol when it is running low and your beans can last for years…any experience with that?
