With the holidays quickly approaching comes the annual brainstorming of ideas for homemade Christmas gifts! We have done homemade gifts every year since we've been together. We enjoy baking and crafting gifts more than shopping at malls and departments stores, and it's always much more kind on our budget. One idea we loved was do-it-yourself vanilla extract. The recipe is so simple that we couldn't resist, especially with all the holiday chefs in our families that could put it to great use!
 |
| To get started all you need is a kind of seal-able jar or container, cheap vodka and whole vanilla beans |
 |
For a pint sized jar we placed 8 whole beans in each jar, then fill with vodka
|
This needs to sit for at least 2 months for the beans and vodka to do their magic. When you're ready to use the extract you can leave the beans in the jar, no need to remove them. The longer you wait the better and more potent it gets! Enjoy!
