It's time to place my vanilla order for Christmas gifts.

Just recently used up my last bottle of liquid vanilla from Mexico. I agree WriterofWords that it is a high quality product. Loved it.
Since I'm not planning a trip to Mexico anytime soon I'm going to order beans and use BettyR's recipe and try making my own. Thanks BettyR for the link!

you know in all my life.. it never occured to me to use real vanilla beans in anything. I do buy the real vanilla extract not the immatation stuff.. But what kind of flavors can you create.. What other things other than extract can you use a whole bean for?

It's great in home made ice cream.

Thanks for the link. I made my first extract 2 yrs ago but I didn't think the quality of the beans was that good. Gotta try this.
