Vanilla sugar is frequently used in European countries for baking, but it it can be costly and hard to get outside of Eastern Europe. Luckily, it is easy to make and it will keep indefinitely in your cupboard. You can replenish your supply simply by adding additional sugar to the jar as you use it. The beans I used are the same ones that I used to make vanilla extract, 1/4 Pound LB Madagascar Bourbon Planifolia Extract Grade B Vanilla Beans 6~7″
I am going to be packing some vanilla sugar into 4 Oz Ball Quilted Jelly Canning Jar

Vanilla sugar can be used in place of regular sugar in recipes. It adds a wonderful vanilla scent to desserts and baked goods. It is also amazing in coffee.
Ingredients
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 Cups granulated white sugar
Instructions
- Pour the sugar into an airtight container. If the vanilla bean is whole, slice it halfway through the long way, open up the bean, and use a spoon or kitchen knife to scrape out the vanilla seeds. Stir the seeds into the sugar, and bury the bean in the sugar. Cover the jar and let stand for at least 1 week for best flavor.

Jennifer you are inspiring me! This year there is NO $ for Christmas gifts. I have told my family just buy for my daughter and everyone agreed. At 42 there is nothing that I need other than being with my family.
However,
I love the homemade gifts your are posting. I have wanted for some time to make my own Vanilla and Vanilla Sugar. You must have read my mind! Anyhow I think some homemade gifts will be just what the budget ordered.
Keep the ideals coming!
