Vanilla Paste

Ingredients

Makes 1 pint

  • 47g vanilla splits, cut into small pieces
  • 1 C sugar
  • 3/4 C vodka
  • 1/3 C water
  • 2 T light corn syrup
  • 1/4 t xanthan gum (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a small capacity blender, blend on high for 2–3 minutes until pods are the same texture of the seeds and it reaches a dark color
  2. Turn blender to low and add xanthan gum to suspend the vanilla suspended in the paste
    • Without it, you’ll need to stir up the paste before using as it will settle
  3. Store in an airtight container (it will thicken overnight)
  4. Use 1:1 in recipes that call for vanilla extract
