Reusing Vanilla Bean for Vanilla Bean Infused Sugar Directions:

• After using vanilla beans in another recipe, wash the bean pods and dry them well with a paper towel. Place the vanilla beans into a mason jar and fill with organic sugar. Let the sugar sit for three weeks, shaking the jar periodically.

  
• One can also speed the process up and use the whole vanilla bean pods to make a sugar. Chop the clean and dried vanilla bean pods into smaller pieces. Add them to a food processor, along with the sugar, seal and pulse until the the pods have broken down into small pieces. Transfer this to a mason jar and seal.
