Following are three recipes to try for Vanilla Sugar. They each require storing the sugar in an airtight container, placed in a dark cupboard, and occasionally shaking or mixing the sugar.

Wait two weeks before using.

The vanilla sugar is good to use for up to one year.

Recipe #1:

1 Tahitian Vanilla Bean
1 1/1 cups sugar

  • Split bean and remove seeds.
  • Mix seeds well in sugar, then place the bean skins in sugar.
  • Seal and store sugar as noted above.

Recipe #2:

1 Whole Vanilla Bean
2 cups sugar

  • Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the sugar and stir in.
  • Push the remaining bean skin down into the sugar.
  • Store and seal the sugar as directed above.
  • Remove the bean after 2 weeks.

Recipe #3:

1 Whole Vanilla Bean
3 cups Granulated Sugar

  • Cut vanilla bean into 1″ pieces. Mix bean pieces into sugar, distributing well.
  • Cover and store as directed above.
  • Do not remove the beans.

Uses:

  • Stir in your coffee or tea, you’ll be spoiled and not go back to regular sugar ;)
  • Use the sugar in cooking, baking and to sweeten beverages.

Give as Gifts:

Store the vanilla sugar in decorative glass jars and give as gifts with instructions how to use (in cooking, coffee, tea, etc.). You could also attach a tag or label giving the recipe so they can make themselves some more when they run out.
