This was a very easy recipe. It is very sweet but thats how I like it. I am going to make this again this weekend so I'll have it this winter. Thanks for the recipe.

This is very good and I will make it again. I didn't want to wait 48 hrs. making vanilla sugar, so I just added the bean to the boiling ingredients with good result. I do however, find it overly sweet and think it would be good on vanilla ice-cream.

My wife and I made this 8/02, and it was wonderful. It is very sweet, maybe just a bit too sweet, but tasted very nice. It was easy to make (although we only used vanilla extract, skipping steps 1-3) and we will surely make and can this again.

I made this with the idea of using it in gift baskets at Christmas time. I have made it many times since. My kids give this to their teachers at Halloween (because of the color)...now the teachers at the elementary school 'fight' about who will have them in their class the following year. Thanks for a GREAT recipe!!
