Vanilla Extract Update

posted in Food |

A few weeks ago, I started making vanilla extract , and I wanted to give you an update about how it’s going.

It’s not clear anymore! It still basically just smells like rum, but I’m going to add a few more vanilla beans soon, and I’m sure that by Christmas it’ll be vanilla-y and ready to use.

PS My “Self-Portrait Tuesday” post yesterday? No one commented on the fact that it was Wednesday! I’m shocked! Thanks for letting me fudge. *grin*

Your blog keeps inspiring me to do new things =)I’ve been wanting to try to make vanilla! I’ve just yet to find a good vanilla bean source here, so I’m still on the prowl.

I’m so glad I found your blog! I am always looking for inspiration to be more crafty and domestic in my own home. I’ve read somewhere about making your own vanilla extract, but those directions called for Vodka.

Since this uses rum, I wonder….how would one make their own flavored rums? (I know you can buy them, but I wonder if buying the liquor store brand silver rum and adding vanilla or coconut, etc, would be the same thing? Liquor store brand rum is cheaper than the name brand, flavored rums!)
