\"Vanilla<\/p>\n

Vanilla is my favorite flavor in sweet baking and cooking. There are many different ways to incorporate it into dishes, including in the form of vanilla bean paste. This is incredibly easy to make. I’ll give you all the tips and tricks in this recipe.<\/p>\n

Vanilla Flavoring<\/h2>\n

A vanilla bean is the purest vanilla flavor. You can easily process the vanilla pods and pulp to make\u00a0vanilla sugar<\/a>,\u00a0extract<\/a>, or paste, so you always have it on hand to incorporate into recipes.<\/p>\n

These days, pure vanilla extract is (thankfully) as readily available as its artificially manufactured sibling, vanilla flavoring, but I can’t say the same for vanilla bean paste.<\/p>\n

The advantage of pure vanilla paste is the presence of the typical black speckles, the real vanilla seeds from the pith of the whole vanilla beans, which allow you to immediately see that real vanilla has been used in your baking.<\/p>\n

That always has a lovely visual appeal. By starting to make your own vanilla paste, you will not be dependent on the availability in stores and will always have a supply on hand. And to be fair: it’s fun to make it yourself!<\/p>\n
