When we visited Tahiti last year, I bought the fattest most plump-yet-still-expensive-considering-where-we-were vanilla beans. I have a few projects in mind using them, first on the list is homemade vanilla.

The pods and seeds went into both vodka (on the left) and bourbon (on the right) then were stored in a dark cabinet. The jars were shaken daily.

Just two months later we have bourbon vanilla cupcakes with a bourbon vanilla buttercream frosting. 100% made by my husband Brian. Who’s lucky? This gal!
