every other day flip the jar and eat one, the cherries are addicting, the jar with the cherries tastes different than the vanilla one but you can still work with it. if i remember you can also do a cherry vanilla kalhua. you want one jar with cherries so that you get into a routine of flipping the jars, dont understand the shaking, simply flip them upsidown one day, up right the next. i did several jars of cherries a few years back, jack, makers mark, rum, vodka, when they are done, they are gone

I have it in the original Jack Daniels bottle, and I turn it upside down for a few seconds, then upright it again. That lets the beans, etc. move around and penetrate the JD more. Then, back into the dark closet, where I have my batch of Lemoncello going too.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Fishlesman,I know you're not trying to hijack the thread, but what you're talking about is entirely different than my original post. I'm talking about pure vanilla extract.Perhaps, you should start another thread.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I've known you could do this with vodka or grain alcohol but never even thought about bourbon. I tried a vanilla agave recently and was amazed how great it worked in combination with savory meats. I bet that vanilla/bourbon extract could be a powerful addition in a sauce.
Thanks for posting the great tip!

I am all over this. One word has me a little confused, though. "Scrapings." Just to be clear, are you talking about scraping the outside of the bean, similar to the zest of a citrus fruit?XL and Medium. Dallas, Texas.

I think he is talking about splitting the bean and scrapping the inside.Boom -

Here's a web site that has a bunch of vanilla varieties. Which do you think would be the best to use?

I got the Madagascar vanilla beans at Penzey's. They have both that and Mexican. The Madagascar beans seamed a little flatter, and I thought I could scrape the insides better. I don't know the others, but I'd stay away from the "Tonka". The book I read said they have a great aroma, but not much taste.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
I'm happy this thread came up. I got some "pure vanilla" from Mexico. What is the difference between pure vanilla and pure vanilla extract?

Found this on the internet.
The FDA has established that a gallon of Single-Fold Pure Vanilla Extract should contain the extractives of 13.35 ounces of beans at no more than 25% moisture content. After processing, the minimum alcohol content must be 35% and the vanillin content must be .11 grams per 100 ml. Anything less than these standards is labeled and classified as a Pure Vanilla Flavor, not as an extract.

There is no such thing as 'french vanilla'.
Vanilla is a bean from an orchid found in Madagascar and Mexico, the Yucatan peninsula if my memory serves me correctly.
