I'm so glad you posted this recipe! I had resigned myself to using vanilla essence in all the recipes that call for extract since I avoid alcohol for religious reasons...but your recipe is a lifesaver! I made a batch and let it sit for 45 days before straining it. My first test recipe was Recipe #153756 which I had made earlier using vanilla essence. It turned out so much better this time! I've bought more glycerin to make another batch today....Thanks a lot for posting, Ransomed by Fire!

I love to cook and aspire to do it well. <br /> <br />I've only been cooking for a few years now, but there are already quite a few people whom I have surpassed. Interestingly enough, I tell people it's not necessarily that I'm a good cook per se, just that I know how to pick the right recipes. This is why I stick around here. :) <br /> <br />I am a recent college graduate with a finance degree. I currently work as an Excel VBA programmer. When I graduated from college, I had no idea this is where my career path would lead; but I think it's kind of fitting and a bit funny since I originally planned to major in computer science. Now, I get to use them both!</p>
