Vanilla Sugar

Miss Erin's Note:

I have had vanilla sugar in my cupboard for awhile now and it's great to have on hand if you want to add a bit of something extra! I put it on my cereal in the morning.

I bought vanilla beans (Tahitian and Madacascar) on Ebay and made extract and all kinds of goodies with them... I found that if I use the beans for a recipe and am left with the pod, I just throw it into a glass sugar dispenser and add sugar to it as it runs low... perfect vanilla sugar for any use!!! It's not overly strong, so it's great in any recipe that calls for a little bit of sugar... Thanks for sharing!!!

This is excellent! I bought a bunch of vanilla beans off e-Bay and wanted to try making vanilla sugar. I doubled the recipe and used two Madagascar/Bourbon vanilla beans and two Tahitian vanilla beans. I shook the jar every day just to mix it up, the week it takes to infuse is definitely worth it!

Really nice! I had a couple extra vanilla beans after making homemade vanilla extract, and decided to try this. I used them on the top of some muffins and they added a lovely touch! Thanks for sharing!
