    Making Vanilla Sugar For Baking and Holiday Gift-Giving. Vanilla beans in granulated cane sugar

    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. 

    We’ve always got LOTS of people we want to show our appreciation to around the holidays, and homemade gifts are a great way to do it. Especially if they’re quick and easy to make, taste amazing, and can be enjoyed in lots of different ways!

    Vanilla sugar is a perfect example.

    Making Vanilla Sugar

    Only 2 Ingredients:

    • 2 cups granulated cane sugar (I have used Wholesome brand Sucanat “sugarcane natural” and organic NOW brand, both NOT stripped of trace minerals or bleached)
    • 1-2 Vanilla Beans, cut lengthwise and in half to expose the little seeds inside
    • optional: add a few drops of peppermint oil or cinnamon oil

    You will also need jars with lids and pretty baker’s twine.

    I used a little over 4# of sugar (2 pkgs.) for 6 pint jars. Meijer also carries an organic natural cane sugar.

     Getting ready to make vanilla bean gifts

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

    Perpetual Vanilla Sugar

    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’ 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!

    Put on some beautiful Christmas music and have fun decorating your containers with your children.

    Use a pretty ribbon or baker’s twine and a hand-written label or sticker.

    Getting ready to decorate these sweet little gifts for friends, adding labels

    With a bright, whimsical baker’s twine bow and a hand written label, these make perfect hostess gifts, party favors or are a terrific addition to any gift basket.

    Enjoy seeing your friend’s faces light up when they receive this sweet little gift 🙂

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
