During the holidays im always trying out new recipes to share with my family or bring to holiday parties. This year I am hosting a holiday party and thought this was a perfect gift to give to the guests.
Vanilla Bean Sugar
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Start to Finish: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 whole vanilla beans
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 (1 quart) jelly jar or glass jar with tight fitting lid
Directions:
Slice one of the beans open down the side with a small knife and scrape all the seeds into the glass container. Add about a quarter of the sugar.
Then slice the other bean open but leave seeds intact. Place both beans in the jar and fill with remainder of sugar covering the beans. Cover with a tight fitting lid and let sit for at least a week before using.

Cooking Tips:
A cinnamon stick or two can also be added to this for a variation.
Use as you would any sugar.
Goes great in coffee or over oatmeal.
