Homemade Vanilla Extract Made in a Pressure Cooker

When you are looking for the perfect gift that is perfect for someone that is hard to buy for, why not try a bottle of homemade vanilla extract?

Normally, it can take 2-3 months to make a good bottle of extract, but this method will make it ready in almost no time!

SUPPLIES:

1. Grade B Madagascar vanilla beans 2. Smirnoff Vodka

1

First things first, gather your ingredients, which include the vanilla beans and Vodka, or food grade glycerin.

2

Then with some good kitchen shears, snip your beans in half so they will fit nicely inside a pint canning jar.

3

Then split them down the middle with your scissors, but not quite all the way. Leave the top of the bean intact.

4

Insert the beans inside the jar and fill it with Vodka or Glycerin until almost to the first rim markings or about an inch and a half of head space.

5

Place a rack or trivet on the bottom of the pressure cooker pot, and barely screw the lid onto the jars and insert into pressure cooker. You can comfortably add 3 pint jars to a 6 quart pressure cooker.
