VANILLA FLAVOR
Ingredients:
1 qt. Vodka of your choice (yes, you can use rum)
10 Vanilla Beans - I ordered Madagascar from Amazon
Directions:
1. Wash beans and make sure whatever container you are using is clean and sanitized.
2. Slit about five of the beans with a knife and leave the remainder of the beans whole. If you don’t want to see specks of vanilla bean in your flavor, place all beans in the bottle of vodka whole.
3. Screw top on tight and shake well.
4. Tuck away in a dark space and shake weekly. No problem if you forget. Just shake the next time you remember.
5. Note: I make a jar of vanilla every year. While I am using one, the newest bottle is aging. I used after a year but you may wish to start using sooner.
WHISKEY GLAZED PECANS
Ingredients:
1 quart of unbroken halved pecans
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Allspice
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons water
1/3 cup of whiskey, bourbon or rum.
Directions:
1. You can order the glazed nut roaster from Amazon. They have several different name brands. I got mine years ago from a hardware store. There will be directions and recipes that will come along with whatever roaster you select.
2. Heat the roaster and place the nuts in the cavity.
3. Practice moving the nuts around. You may have to use a spoon to assist at first as seen in the video.
4. Mix the spices in a bowl along with the granulated sugar.
5. Add the sugar mixture to the nuts and start roasting (turning).
6. After turning a few times, add the water and liquor.
7. Keep turning until all liquids have evaporated.
8. You will start to see the nuts glaze.
9. Remove nuts to a cookie sheet to cool when no liquids are visible.
