As you use the vanilla sugar, just add more plain sugar to the jar. \u00a0The vanilla skin will impart flavor for a very long time. \u00a0Every time you use a bean, just throw the new skin into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don&#8217;t use vanilla beans in your cooking, Costco sells a nice pack of beans for about $10 or so. \u00a0They will last forever and you can use them just for making this sugar.<\/p>\n<p>To remove the seeds from the vanilla bean, use a paring knife to cut along the length of the bean. \u00a0Fold the bean open and use the tip of a spoon to scrape out the seeds. \u00a0The seeds can be used to flavor custards, icecream, and any dessert simmered on the stove. \u00a0Put them in you chocolate chip cookies for an extra vanilla punch. \u00a0Even if you never make homemade anything, you can throw them into a boxed cake or brownie mix instead of throwing them away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had jar of vanilla sugar in my kitchen since 1990 and use it for everything from tea to cookies. \u00a0It adds a nice touch to just about any dessert and can add a subtle hint of vanilla to fruit compotes and preserves. \u00a0The options are endless and it&#8217;s probably the easiet recipe on my [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":808,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-901","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=901"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":908,"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/901\/revisions\/908"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feedingandrew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
