Hey friends! Jules here from Sweet Bombdiggity Farms. It’s that time of year to get our homemade vanilla extracts going! They need to sit for about 6 months, so they’ll be ready just in time for holiday baking. Here’s why you should try making both bourbon and vodka vanilla extracts:
Bourbon Vanilla Extract
– Rich Flavor: Adds a deep, warm flavor perfect for cookies, cakes, and desserts.
– Versatile: Ideal for recipes that benefit from a hint of smokiness and complexity.
Vodka Vanilla Extract:
– Pure Taste: Provides a clean, classic vanilla flavor that works in any recipe.
– Neutral Base: Perfect for dishes where you want the vanilla to shine without additional flavors.
Ingredients:
– Fresh vanilla beans
– Good-quality bourbon
– Good-quality vodka
– Glass bottles with tight lids
Instructions:
1. Split the vanilla beans lengthwise.
2. Place them in the bottles (2-3 beans per bottle).
3. Fill one bottle with bourbon and the other with vodka.
4. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months. Shake occasionally.
Get started now, and you’ll have the most amazing vanilla extracts ready for all your holiday baking! 🌾✨
