Homemade Extracts for Your Baking Needs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лис 2024
- There are endless recipes online for making homemade extracts. I've been making my own vanilla for years, this year I wanted to make several more for the purpose of my own personal pantry and future Christmas gifts.
Here's a link to the vanilla beans we used: amzn.to/3fnRprB
I want to make my own lemon and almond extracts but I don't have those on hand.
Using the instant pot make this process much faster than the steep method.
I hope you will try it for those items you by at the store, it's a huge cost savings with very little effort.

Coffee maple scones?! Please tell me you’ll make those on camera! 😩😂 Thank you for the ideas for homemade Christmas gifts! 😊
You forgot to mention how you perpetuate your vanilla process. Great idea for speeding up the extract process. Thanks Rachel.
Just add a bean or two and top off the jar
Thank you ❤ they look great! I want to try the vanilla. How long would you let it soak in the vodka before using, if you didn’t speed it up with the pressure cooker?
@@gardenstatesowandsew It takes a few months. I ended up not using mine until 6 months later because I didn't feel like it was strong enough. That was many years ago. Now I buy new beans every other year or so and just add them to the jar, never removing any. Every time my extract goes down an inch or so I top mine off so that it stays just as strong and doesn't get too diluted with new uninfused vodka.
@@gardenstatesowandsew Let it sit for 6 - 8 weeks before using, but it will continue to get stronger as it sits. I've seen some places recommending for it to sit at least 6 months to get the best flavor.
I just top off the jar with more rum or vodka. One chef said they were using the same beans for 25 years.
I would let the coffee beans dry in the sun.. then I would grind them and try it as coffee😋😋😋😋😋😋
I watched another youtuber do the instant pot version of vanilla and gave it a try. I felt it was the best vanilla of all my vanilla. I have some that has been sitting on my shelf for over a year, but smelling them side by side, the instant pot vanilla is best. One thing though, I found that it is best to let sit in the jar on a shelf for 1 month afterward. That is when it is the best. I could still smell the alcohol over the vanilla, but that 1 month on the shelf took care of that. I've also tried spiced rum and bourbon. I prefer the vodka, but know many who like the spiced rum. If you don't like one try another until you find what you like. Thanks for the video. Never would have thought of blueberry or peach, but that sounds lovely.
Look at that color on the blueberries. Such a beautiful gift
Oooo save the captain Morgan’s bottle too! 😊
You know I did
The coffee extract will great in Tiramisu
I worked in a coffee shop for years. Yes, you can reuse beans like you’re doing. 😊
I paused this video to go order some vanilla beans just so I can try this. I love these kinds of videos. Thank you!!
I plan to make limoncello this year from my lemon tree. It's more work than an extract because it involves grating the lemon rinds but it's heavenly!
Would you mind sharing your recipe?
I tried orange extract by using orange peels. It came out delicious.
What will you make using the orange extract?
Did you dehydrate the orange peels
You can also take coffee beans and vanilla beans after infusing and make flavored sugar. Allow beans to air dry. When no longer moist or damp add to granulated sugar and allow to sit for a few weeks before using.
Ooo... I’m thinking these would be great in homemade chocolates. Coffee creams, strawberry creams, nut barks.. mmm. Or in hot drinks, in creamers for hot drinks... Oof...🤤😂 So many ideas Rachel!
Those are lovely extracts and so easy. I have one I just made using golden rod flowers. I added ginger, lemon and clove to it. OMG it's a holiday in a bottle.
My goldenrod has been working for a week, can I add the ginger, lemon, and cloves to it or is it too late?
I love how excited you were about the coffee extract and how you even passed it to us to smell. So heartwarming and sweet. I lost my mom around this time last year so thank you for bringing the joy and excitement of this season back for me 💜
It would be so awesome to see how you put the baskets together! :)
Hi Rachel! I have made vanilla for years, but I just buy a 1.75 liter of cheap vodka and put in 16 Madagascar vanilla beans let sit in my basement in a dark cupboard for a year...then strain put in 5oz bottles (with the beans) label, and people love it...I love those beans the best because it makes the vanilla smell sweet, so good
..no mess no fuss!
I used Madagascar beans too
Hi Tara,
Where can I find the Madagascar vanilla? Thanks! God bless!
9o p
The fruit ones make excellent glaze on fish, particularly Blueberry and Raspberry on baked Halibut and Cod.
Great idea. I usually start a batch of Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans in Costco size vodka every fall. It cures over the next year & is ready for baking the following fall. I joined a vanilla bean group to expand my repertoire of vanilla. Different types & different spirits. I love Tahitian vanilla because it's floral & light. It's heavenly. I like that you used unusual spirits & flavors.
After Christmas I want to make my own vanilla, it's insanely expensive at the store and I am always making things.
Coffee extract? Holy cow how did I not know about this??
Hey Rachel! I am loving this latest “series” of content, make it at home! So fun!
Peach and triple sec/grand marnier. Blueberry and lemoncello.
I just infused apple cinnamon vodka. My son said it was really good.
Dollar tree sells small jars just like the ones you have. Perfect size for gifts
I just made vanilla with a bottle of captain morgan and it smells divine so i think that cinnamon you have would make a great spicy vanilla i sure would love some of that coffee one i only live a staye away lol
Wow what a great way to make extracts! I made vanilla, coffee, chocolate, lemon, orange the old fashion , wait for ever way last year but this is so much easier!!!! Think this will be my go to way from now on- no more shaking and waiting!
I would pour the extract from the pint jar into a large measuring cup that has a pour spout. That way you won’t loose so much trying to pour it into the bottles
I started two quarts of vanilla about 3 years ago. I waited 2 years to use any of it, or to the some away. My truck is to use vanilla from one quart jar until it gets down to about 2/3 full. I then just refill it with white rum or vodka, and place that one behind the second quart. I start using from the second quart, and keep the process going, so I never run out. This year I did add a couple more vanilla beans to each jar, which I found much more affordable than a few years back!
I'm planning to buy spiced rum to start some vanilla from that. I heard it's fantastic!
I am making vanilla for the first time and I was really excited about it until I started reading online about some naysayers who were very precise with the bean weight instead of just number of beans. When I weighed mine it was not the right weight but was the right number of beans to what I had read. I'm going with it.
I have started both vodka and spiced rum, but love your idea of doing 2 so you can rotate usage.
You could throw the cinnamon stick either in you 2nd round or just put it the bottle for the look like coffee & vanilla beans. I'm gonna try doing it that way next time, you probably get a stronger flavor of what your extracting. Great ideas as usual. I gifted a small amount of the vanilla bean you taught me to make to a baker friend of mine for her birthday, that would be a great gift of variety pack of extracts. You so smart! 🤣🤣
Adult fruit leather, blueberry mules sound so goooo! can't wait to see how you do that🙌🏼🙌🏼
Those look amazing!! Wish we could smell them too!! Rachel best wishes to You and Yours!!
Wow I would think the heat would take some of the goodness, I need to try this. I been doing the old method, mine been infusing for 14mos in my bar cabinet.
Love the coffe extract idea. I'm pretty sure it can work for cocktail baskets too, for a coffee Martini, Irish coffee etc.
I made vanilla but it’s been sitting for 3 months! Next time I will use the Instant Pot! Yummm!
Oh my goodness....I am going to watch this again. I do not have an instant pot, but I do want to try some of these ideas!!! So so neat!!! Your friends and family are so lucky to have you as a gift giver!!!! I binged watched some of your earlier videos and you commented early on that people do not appreciate all the homemade things.....do they now?? I find that most people in my wheel house give me a funny look like they want the real stuff from the store??? Good grief!!!
Last summer I made a 1/2 gallon of vanilla(we use it in everything!) using Capt Morgans. I split my Then used Ever Clear to make cinnamon & peppermint from our plant. Plus a 1/2 gallon jar of vanilla sugar(put a lot of beans in it) & probably added at least 8 pounds of sugar to it. Made cute baking baskets for gifts.
Did you find the Everclear overpowers the vanilla flavor? I used that for my vanilla extract (started in February) and it’s so strong it overpowers the vanilla flavor.
Have heard coffee extract enhances any baked goods made with chocolate, so maybe chocolate scones
I've never tried coffee or vanilla in vodka but we have a habit of creating different extracts of plants (both grown and foraged) and then we mix our own schnapps with them. I especially like to flavour vodka with bog myrtle. And right now I have a batch of sloe gin going.
I started a gallon of vanilla a few days ago, but this video inspired me to start a pint of coffee extract tonight. I'm excited to use it in my homemade mocha ice cream! Thanks for the idea!
Loved this video Rachel- great gift ideas & yes Christmas is only around the corner. You are looking Great xxxxx Cheers Denise- Australia
I made my first vanilla extract last year with bourbon. I am getting low, so I decided to make it with vodka this time. I will try ot this way.
I’m so anxious to try making the vanilla extract and that coffee flavor would be amazing! Thank you for sharing this Rachel ❤
Enjoy watching your videos
I am loving the holiday gift ideas!! Thank you
What a fantastic idea pressure cooking in the jar to jump start the extracts!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! All of our minds must think alike I have this on my list of things to do this week too!
You just solved my many years of mold problems when I infused vodka with peppers, garlic and onions for Bloody Mary's! It always molded after a few months. Duh! The water content of the vegetables I was adding! Should have used freeze dried! Thanks for the video!
Yum, great vid. I'm going to try some almond extract as well.
We make vanilla, vanilla paste, cinnamon peach extract, strawberry and mint extract. We love them for baking and all that kind of stuff!!
You could use the blueberry for Moscow mule along with the peach!! Yumm
Yummy! How do you make the vanilla paste?
Thank you for this video! I wanted to give vanilla extract as some Christmas presents and knew I didn't have time for it to steep. Can't wait to try this.
I was sooo looking for this! Thanks so much! You are kicking out such great content!!! Much love!
Glad to see you're doing better 💐 So much fun watching you. Your kitchen probably smells devine 😂💐💙🙏🇺🇲
My vanilla extract will be a year old in October. I was excited to see that I used the same beans that you used. I had no idea what I was doing when I purchased them on Amazon. Thanks!
Hey, Rachel 🧡🍁🌻. This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing ❤.
Glad to see your feeling better luv this video
Great video. Those extracts sound amazing.
I've been brewing several different vanilla beans for over a year. So yummy. Some in vodka, some in rum. (Madagascar,, Indonesian, Tahitian, Ugandan, and Sri Lankan). I use Grade A beans and use 1 oz of beans to 1 cup of alcohol for a single fold. Want to try to make almond extract which I hear you make from apricot pits.
I've made kahula, chambord, blueberry, amaretto and other flavored infusions but using the instant pot is new to me. I definitely am going to give it a try making some lemoncello from dehydrated lemons. We have mainly used ours as after dinner cordials and mixed cocktails.
Madagascar is the other vanilla bean location😊 Also, if you are feeling like you want to try a new spirit, I really liked the Honey Whiskey from Honey House Distillery in the Purgatory Colorado area.
I've been wanting to try making my own vanilla extract that looks so easy I just might do it. Thank you
Next time float some of that cinnamon rum on the peaches. That would be delicious!
Fun video Rachel. Mike makes vanilla but I like the others. I'll tell him about it and I'm sure he will watch today. We both work at home and love your channel. Blessings, Rochelle
That fruit would work great in breads or as a decadent topping for ice cream.
Sounds delicious. Thank you for all your videos!
I use Madagascar vanilla beans with a good bourbon to make my vanilla. It’s very yummy! I’ve not done other extracts but I might try a few. I’m not sure what I would use them for though.
Yes a tincture made with vodka will last 50 years this also goes for healing herbs as well as these cooking extracts
Great video. I have never made extracts before but want to try. The other day I was in a thrift store and they had the dark color flip jar in which I bought. I have been collecting flip jars for a little while but rarely find the dark color. Definitely going to try some of these extracts.
I do not have an Instapot, can I pressure can this instead? Or water bath? And if so for how long?
I've never put my extracts in a pressure cooker! I always just leave them in the shelf for ever 😅 I'm going to give this a try, but I think I'll just leave them in the instant pot overnight since they need to cool down.
Very inspiring, looks so pretty! 🌸⭐️
Love hanging in your kitchen , watching you make homemade gifts. I have several containers of vanilla going, lol I joined a vanilla bean club.
I'll have to try some of the other extracts!
Where can you join a vanilla bean club?
I'm so excited to try all of them and thank you for sharing this video ☺️
My vanilla extract is - I had to stop and think, really old. lol I don't remember how long I've been putting vanilla beans in a mason jar of brandy. I don't slice them, that way you can't 'milk' them after they absorb all the goodness for whipped cream, etc. The flavor is insanely delicious compared to any commercial brand. Although I've long forgotten what commercial brands taste like. Enjoyed your video even though I don't own an instant pot you gave me an idea to infuse some coffee beans in Tennessee Fire I've had for ages!
This is great! I’ve been looking for a way to make vanilla extract faster than having to wait months!
The blueberry would be good in cream cheese icing for blueberry muffins. Mmmm
Great video (as usual).
I am super inspired for making extracts!! Please give us an update on the “round two” batches - should we all go for it? Thanks for sharing your creativity - I’m not creative by nature and in the last few years have found that I’m a great copy-cat and don’t necessarily divulge that I’m not creative lol
Same here
What? I love that Bacardi! 😊
Omg love this!! Thank you for sharing your extract recipes and especially how to process using the Instant Pot!! Definitely going to try this!! 😊
Those all sound so good! I am going to have to try this out in my instapot! Thanks for the idea!
MADAGASCAR!!!
Thanks for this.
Love these! Such a fab idea xx
You can use the leftover blueberries for bread or muffins . The alcohol will bake off..
Hi Rachel. This was a lovable video. Just reading the comments from other viewer's was fun. Just talking about food made me hungry. Maybe one day I can do something like this. God Bless you Rachel and thank you for sharing. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
I just got down to the dregs of a bottle of vanilla I made 9 months ago. I'm going to do the instant pot thing tomorrow.
Madagascar vanilla beans is one too.
I’ve been thinking about making this lol
I’m happy you did this video. Use the blueberries in pancakes.
Oh that would be yummy or an extra blueberry kick in muffins
I'm gonna love this video....watching now...wanted to be first!!!!
Ok...just finished watching....just what I thought....excellent! I have vanilla beans, so need to buy some vodka and get busy. The coffee extract sounds wonderful....well, they all do!! Thanks, Rachel!
great ideas!
I had wondered if heat would speed up the process. Now I know. Thanks!
love this! thanks for the idea rachel!
Awesome thank ou
Neither Walmart nor our regional grocery stores have the large 16 oz (pint) bottles of vanilla yet, not starting any rumor, just saying I've ordered beans. The smaller bottles of vanilla go for $2.34/ounce as it is, so....tap tap tap, carry the 7.... 1/3 the price of store bought. Win!
I think the peach would’ve been good with the spiced rum. Coffee extract to make Kahlua😊 Might have to bribe my daughter into doing a extract day using her Insta pot. I don’t have one, don’t want one,too many other kitchen gadgets already. I’ll have to research making almond extract since that’s her favorite.
I have often wondered about almond extract as well!
I am excited to try these. Did you talk about how to keep the vanilla going perpetually?
Can’t wait to see an almond extract video😉
Can you show us the syrups and the baskets you put together? I would love some new ideas 💡
