Vanilla Sugar

By Darina Allen

Good vanilla pods are expensive, so store them in a tall Mason jar of superfine sugar. They will flavor it and you can use it as vanilla sugar.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Fill a large mouthed jar with superfine sugar. Bury dry vanilla pods in the sugar and store; the more vanilla pods you use, the stronger the flavor will be. Use for cookies, cakes, custard, ice creams, etc.
