Calories: 48kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Measure and pour half of your sugar into the food processor.
- Carefully cut your vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Set aside and save the pod for later. Add the seeds to your sugar.
- Pulse until combined with no clumps but don't overwork it!
- Add the remaining sugar and pulse again until combined. (Yet again, don't overprocess it.)
- Fill your airtight jar halfway with vanilla sugar then add in the empty bean pod (cut to size if needed) and then cover with the remaining sugar.
- Use right away or wait 1-2 weeks for more flavor infusion. Store in a labeled airtight container and enjoy for 6-12 months!
Notes
-
- Store. Place the sugar in a labeled jar with an airtight lid in a cool dark place for 6-12 months.
-
- When Using. Give it a little shake before each use to break up any clumps that may form.
-
- Processing the Sugar. Don't over-process your sugar as this may break it down too much. Pulse just enough to disperse the vanilla bean throughout the sugar.
