Really Easy Vanilla Sugar
"If you want to add wonderful flavor to your drinks or to keep your meringues snow white this is the recipe for you! You can use superfine sugar for cookie sanding and baking or regular sugar. You can add the scraped beans from your custards if you rinse and dry them well so your sugar always has a strong flavor. I used the same vanilla beans forever! Hope you try this easy little recipe! The number of beans you use depends on how big they are. Some are 5 inches long and some are 10 inches long. If you like it strong, use more. I use lots and if it is too strong for what I need I just cut it with plain sugar. As for servings, well, that depends on what you are making - a cake or a cup of tea????"

It's only been three weeks since I started making this and, already, it is full of vanilla flavor. So far I've used it to sweeten and flavor some plain yogurt. I plan on sharing this with my Mom who uses a lot of vanilla sugar. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Vanilla sugar in those tiny packets is so expensive and now I won't be buying those anymore. Made for New Kids On The Block tag game.

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas!
Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments.
My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL!
