Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - BarbaraS - 10-15-2011 Okay, so I want to make that Vanilla Cider Pork with Pears recipe and it calls for the sacrifice of a vanilla bean and its innards. But it's only going to be cooked for a few minutes. Can it be reused? Can it be saved for later use? Barbara~~~wants to save the bean... Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - Trixxee - 10-15-2011 The first two times I made this I actually used vanilla extract because I didn't have a bean and I didn't want to spend $9, yes $9 on ONE at the store. I've since found a mail order place where they are about 1/4 of the price. Turned out fine with the extract! Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - cjs - 10-15-2011 The only problem I can see, Barbara is if the bean picks up too much flavor from the dish. I reuse mine quite a few time (in fact some of my kaluha has 5 or 6 beans in it after a few batches), but I only use them in the kaluha. Wish I could help more. someone will come along and help. Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - BarbaraS - 10-16-2011 Trixee, Please do share this online site that is 1/4 of the regular price... Barbara Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - BarbaraS - 10-16-2011 True that, Jean. And oh my, it was a wonderful dish! Barbara Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - Trixxee - 10-16-2011 Sure - I get them from Olive Nation. And I'm glad you liked the dish! http://www.olivenation.com/Premium-Bourbon-Madagascar-Vanilla-Beans-P84.aspx Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - BarbaraS - 10-16-2011 Holy cow Trixee!!

White Truffle & Parmesan Cheese Sauce - hmmm, this is something to play with. Bechamel + truffle oil +parmesan - oh yes. ...and the newsletter. Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - piano226 - 10-16-2011 Hi, I just purchased 1/2 a lbs from Amazon for 27.69 +free shipping. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans. Re: Save The Vanilla Bean! Or Not? - farnfam - 10-16-2011 Is it too late to add, I rinsed the bean off well and stuck it in a bottle of vodka with some Splenda. The vodka is great, I don't notice any pork taste......but then again, I wouldn't |
