Making your own vanilla sugar could not be easier.

You can substitute vanilla sugar for granulated sugar in any recipe.  It is also wonderful added to coffee or sprinkled on baked goods.  This makes a great hostess gift, party favor and is a terrific addition to any gift basket.

Making Vanilla Sugar

Only 2 Ingredients:

~2 cups Granulated Cane Sugar
~1-2 Vanilla Beans, cut lengthwise to expose the little seeds

You will also need jars and lids and pretty twine.

I used a little over 4# of sugar (2 pkgs.) for 6 pint jars.

Directions:

Place the vanilla pod into a lidded container with sugar (leaving at least an inch of head space) so that the pod is completely covered. Cover tightly.

Shake it well.

It’s Ready In 1-2 Weeks

**You have to wait 1-2 weeks before vanilla sugar is ready, but after one week it is quite fragrant enough.

The sugar will take on an even more pronounced vanilla flavor with time.

The best part is you can just add additional sugar to the jar as it is used and your original vanilla bean pieces will impart their sweet floral goodness to cups and cups of sugar.

I call it ‘perpetual’ vanilla sugar – just like my Perpetual Vanilla Extract!

You can also do this to make vanilla coffee beans and vanilla honey! They make gifts the people in your life will certainly remember!
