I wish I liked ice cream more. My GI doesn't like the amount of sugar and fat... but it's often the stabilizers and emulsifiers that give me the most trouble... and any "natural" flavors/colors and/or food dye used by the less expensive brands. 🤷‍♀️ So I stick with fresh fruit for dessert most times.

Making my own vanilla extract for the first time. Simple - mostly takes time. 1st batch should be ready by 4th of July 🎆

My BIL made vanilla extract for my sister to use. I should get his recipe/process.

Check in w/ sis for some tips and see if you can borrow some of her tools, molds, etc. Try some out to see what you like. Can be expensive start-up if you don't have any of the equipment to start. That's assuming you're getting fancy and not just "heat, mix, drop, cool" like me. :LOL:

Sis lives in Louisiana. I doubt she will give up her tools, etc. I don't have a good track record mailing things back to her. 🙄

Looks like the H/M/D/C method for me at first. If I get into it, I may invest.

Ice cream is my weakness....
Blue Bell Buttercrunch (laced throughout, with crumbled up Butterfinger bar) is awesome.

I can do the small bowls... I often use a dinner plate for a honeybun, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream... covered with cherry pie filling. Lol.
If my metabolism ever changes, I'm screwed.

I find temporing chocolate difficult. Caramels and English Toffees are much more suited to my skill level but I find the process therapeutic and they make great gifts at work.

As far as moulds go, keep it simple. Drop, balls, bars taste great and a lot can be said for miniature muffin papers for ready made shapes.

Not sure if your auntie did this, too... but from what I read, you continue to use every bit of the vanilla bean pod until it's entirely consumed.

Split and soak in vodka to make extract
Soak for @ 6 months
Then start to use & continue to "feed" the jars - more beans and vodka.
Every time you add a new bean, take an old one out. Dry it out, then put it in a small jar w/ sugar. It then infuses and makes vanilla sugar (great for coffee and baking).
When it's infused the sugar thoroughly, take the bean and grind into powder and use as vanilla powder for baking.

You can do all these things independent of each other or in a succession. But bottom line is to thoroughly and completely use every spec of the bean.

I 😍 that idea of zero waste. Plus - vanilla is darn tasty!!
