this is so easy
you may never buy vanilla extract again
and
not only is it great for your own cooking and baking
it makes a great gift
bundle up a jar of freshly made vanilla with a punnet of strawberries and bottle of cream
and give it to the nice lady next door
perhaps she will treat you back
with freshly made strawberry shortcake
2 cups vodka or brandy
6-8 vanilla beans
split the vanilla beans and place in a glass jar or ceramic crock. pour in vodka and ensure the pods are fully immersed. hide in a cool dark place for about 8 weeks
easy as pie
mmm pie
watch this space
for pie
