Recipe Expert Tips

  • Don't throw away those old and dry vanilla beans. Use them to make vanilla sugar.
  • Semi dry or dry vanilla beans have been used with this technique.
  • You can try using fresh, plump and moist vanilla beans but I can't say they will work as well.
  • Drying out the beans-You could leave some fresh vanilla beans exposed to air to help speed drying them out if you don't have any dry vanilla beans around to use.
