Directions
Ruth’s Homemade Vanilla Extract,I got this recipe from Ruth Baks, one of Jerusalem’s finest cooks. This is how I make my vanilla and it’s wonderful!,Update – sorry didn’t realize I never came back to give it the 5 stars it deserves. I’ve topped it off several times since the first batch. Definitely an easy way to make some great vanilla extract!! ok – I started this ~Aug 20. It has already turned a light shade of brown. I figure by October I’ll be able to do the stars on this review – but I didn’t want to forget which recipe I followed (as if I could, I LOVE your directions). I made a flask for me and a small bottle for my daughter. I’m excited!,Works wonderfully! Bought a pound of beans from Amazon to make the vanilla extract in large batches, this way I’ll have enough to make several bottles for holiday gifts. Tastes wonderful in homemade goodies 🙂
