Can you believe the holiday season is just a few short months away?! Thanksgiving is just 77 days away! What the what?!!!!
Many of us do some amount of baking for the holidays, whether it’s just a batch of your favorite cookies, fudge wreath, or baking for a holiday party or gift giving. Chances are your recipes are going to call for vanilla. Vanilla extract and vanilla beans are such essential items in a holiday baking spice cabinet.
Last year I shared how easy and much more economical it is to make your own vanilla. It’s so simple to make but needs to sit at least 6-8 weeks before you can use it, so get started now to have plenty of vanilla extract on hand for your holiday baking. Download and Print the free homemade vanilla labels Kelly made and you’ll have a fantastic gift ready to pass out to friends and family in December.
You’ll notice vanilla beans can be pretty pricy at the grocery store, so if you plan to make more than one bottle of extract I highly suggest purchasing your beans online, from places such as at Beanilla.com. right now they have 25 Madagascar Vanilla Beans for $25 + FREE shipping! that’s a fantastic price!

Oh my gosh! What isn’t vanilla good in? I love adding a bit to my almond butter with a little bit of stevia too! Yummo! =)
I always love vanilla in things but with the holidays coming up I think of my mom’s crunch drop cookies! Also she taught me how to make pudding and I loved adding it in as the final step, just like making fudge. It would just complete things!
I love vanilla beans for my vanilla bean cheesecake!!
I started my first batch of vanilla this past week-end to give as Christmas presents. I’m anxious to start another batch right away. Love my cute flip-top bottles from Beanilla and will be ordering more.
So happy to have discovered Beanilla and the fun project of homemade vanilla.
I love it !!!
I love anything and everything with vanilla in it. Some favorites are vanilla ice cream, pound cake and bread pudding. I’m very excited to learn about making my own vanilla extract!
