Ingredients
5 vanilla beans
3 pounds granulated sugar
Instructions
Add sugar to the blender {or a large bowl}. Scrape the vanilla bean paste from the vanilla pods and add the vanilla bean paste to the sugar. Using your blender pulse the sugar and vanilla bean paste a few times until the sugar and vanilla paste is evenly mixed {this can also be done in a large mixing bowl and a spatula}.
Pour the vanilla sugar into an airtight jar and store in your pantry. Use in baked goods or your morning cuppa just as you would regular sugar.
Note: Since I store my vanilla sugar in such a large jar, I typically throw the extra {scrapped} vanilla pods into the jar as well. For no other reason than hey, I might as well get every bit of vanilla out of the pod. 🙂
Fun Fact: The entire vanilla bean is actually edible!
