vanilla

[Guest guest]

One of my first SOS back to Germany when I came over here as a young

bride, was to ask: " How many spoonfuls of Vanilla sugar are in an

vanilla sugar envelope " .. Never used liquid vanilla before, but grew up

where a recipe would say ' one envelope of vanilla sugar'..

So, I learned to make my own, One bean for 4 cups of sugar will flavor

it in no time, great for cooking, great for baking and great in

coffee... and that jar can be reused several times over again with new

sugar until the bean gives out.

Also it makes nice little gifts for Christmas , in pretty jars with

pretty tops.

BTW, is there another vanilla buy in the making? Did I miss the boat???
