Hey there! Sometimes being gluten free, you can be bombarded with hidden gluten in items as innocent as ketchup, soy sauce, etc. I am doing more research and hope to post soon the hidden sources of gluten for all my gluten free friends and my friends with celiac. It has been shocking to say the least. I love to bake and use vanilla extract. I recently ran out of homemade vanilla extract, so I thought what the heck, I'll take pictures of the process and post it. While this is not technically paleo and we do not do paleo 100% of our consumption, it is a fun and easy thing to make and I do use this a lot!
This is soooo easy to do and it will take you probably 5 minutes max to make. Although here is where the delayed gratification comes in. It takes about 8 weeks for the vanilla extract to be complete!
Here is what you need
1) small 8-12 oz. glass bottle with lid, or a small food safe container.
2) 3-4 nice sized whole vanilla beans
3) pure vodka
Here is the process: Get ready....open up the vanilla beans. Place beans in glass jar. Pour vodka in the glass jar to cover the beans. Place lid on jar, shake and set aside. The alcohol will pull the vanilla out of the bean and create a dark, rich smelling tasty vanilla extract, with no preservatives! You will know the extract is ready when the liquid is dark brown and smells just like vanilla extract.
