hey y'all come on in and join me in my
0:04
quarantine kitchen I've got a real short
0:09
quick recipe to show y'all today but I
0:13
did a recipe a few weeks ago and I for
0:17
some reason I was talking about homemade
0:19
vanilla and you know vanilla at the
0:23
grocery store is like for a bottle like
0:26
$24.99 can't get over it and vanilla
0:34
beans are just over the over the top
0:37
what do we price them out Eddie at the
0:40
grocery store it was a package of high
0:42
me like three three vanilla beans 325
0:46
yeah like $25 for three vanilla beans
0:49
and I said well we can't do that Eddie
0:52
we're just gonna have to go we can get
0:58
hush hush we gonna have to see if we can
1:01
get them on the web well Eddie did some
1:04
research what did I do with a bag idiots
1:07
over there you'll hand that to me please
1:11
this is this is what we got off the web
1:14
and it's 10 it's 10 beans and I have you
1:19
6 I'm gonna use 6 for a cup and a half
1:24
of vodka now you can use bourbon or you
1:28
can use rum but I've just always made
1:31
mine with vodka so but you know feel
1:35
free I'm gonna make after I get through
1:38
with this I'm gonna make some bourbon
1:40
vanilla so and I'm gonna try to decide
1:46
which one I like the best but I when I
1:49
use vanilla flavoring I use a lot
1:52
because I love the way it tastes
1:55
all right now the first thing you don't
1:57
want to do is find you a bottle that you
2:04
like and this is one Eddie fan
2:08
in the dish pantry and I like it so what
2:12
we're gonna do y'all is take our vanilla
2:15
bean it's like a like a dried you know
2:19
green beans that fresh green beans that
2:21
you buy at the grocery store it looks
2:24
and feels like that if it was dried out
2:27
so we're gonna lay our beam down and
2:33
we're gonna take a sharp knife and you
2:37
want to go in the middle of that bean
2:44
and you want to go all the way to the
2:49
end all right now I'm gonna kind of open
2:53
it up kind of open those flaps up
2:58
because now I'm gonna take my knife and
3:05
I'm gonna run it down that bean it was a
3:10
little hard place right there Eddie
3:13
see that little stop light so I don't
3:21
know the other the other one said I did
3:26
had the same little rough spot in the
3:31
same spot all right so I guess we can
3:35
understand why vanilla so expensive
3:37
y'all alright so that's not going
3:42
through our funnel so after we clean our
3:48
vanilla beans out we're gonna just put
3:51
them in the in the jar and I'm gonna
3:55
take a toothpick and see if I can
3:57
encourage that to go through this little
4:00
funnel it's a little funnel doesn't have
4:03
a very big hole and I mean I'm gonna try
4:07
to get every drop y'all cuz this is
4:11
truly to someone that bakes
4:15
a lot this is like pure gold okay
4:25
I'm having trouble getting it all so
4:27
I've got a little room where I can add
4:30
some more liquid to it so don't tilt
4:35
that sideways and take the my toothpick
4:41
and encourage that to go down
4:48
looks like moving actually it looks like
4:51
chocolate I'm gonna see if I can maybe
5:01
I just love making vanilla my own
5:04
vanilla and you know it is so easy and
5:09
the reward is so so big
5:23
but here's here's the downside of it and
5:28
I'm sure that this is probably why so
5:31
dadgum expensive because you have to let
5:36
this sit you can't use it like
5:38
immediately you're gonna have to let it
5:40
sit and course the longer it sits the
5:44
better it's gonna get so if you're
5:46
wanting to do this for Christmas gifts I
5:49
would recommend doing it right now
5:52
making your gifts right now because by
5:56
Christmas time the vanilla is gonna be
6:01
incredible incredible and people are
6:05
gonna be asking you for more whoa I'm
6:11
running over 80 so I will wait gosh if
6:23
you go on the web it'll probably tell
6:25
you to wait six months
6:28
you think 80 yeah six months a year's
6:31
better is better well I don't have that
6:34
kind of patience I'll let mine sit for
6:41
maybe eight weeks well you can judge it
6:44
I mean as it gets darker the longer it
6:46
sits the darker well good yes yes
6:49
because it was this color balloon we
6:52
starting it was totally clear and it's
6:55
already darkened up so
7:02
Oh No a piece of jewelry I'm gonna get
7:10
him look at that and I'm putting me back
7:13
in there we're not gonna lose a drop
7:18
perfect so you would probably need seven
7:25
or eight beans for a cup and a half of
7:28
vanilla but see how the little pieces I
7:34
don't know if you can see that Edie yeah
7:36
see those will turn up in our cakes or
7:39
cookies and I just love love seeing
7:43
those because it's like um you know when
7:48
you have an L a bean ice cream you can
7:51
see that it looks like pepper in it
7:53
well it ain't pepper it's those little
7:58
flecks of vanilla beans so I when I see
8:05
it I'll pick it up and shake it just to
8:09
get those flavors going and if somebody
8:14
walked in my house at Christmas time and
8:16
said Merry Christmas I made you
8:20
I would probably kiss them on the lips
8:23
because it's a fabulous gift and you can
8:28
put a little bold this put a little bow
8:33
on it he's a perfect it's just perfect
8:37
for birthdays hostess gifts
8:44
so I'm gonna make up hopefully about six
8:47
of these because when I get on a baking
8:49
tangent y'all can use this in a week so
8:56
that's it for those of you who asked me
9:00
to show them how to make vanilla
9:05
that's it yet and I can really see why
9:09
it's so expensive but so good I think
9:15
I'll have a drink I don't like it it
9:19
smells like rubbing alcohol loving best
