As far as the amount of time goes, I think I've used my vanilla as early as a week after making it. Maybe it's because I used two beans at once in a pint jar? I'm not sure although I would agree it gets better with time, but I ran out and had to use it. I also just keep mine in the pantry and the pods in together. I am also realizing I used Bourbon Vanilla beans which I got at Fairway and only cost about $3 which is extremely reasonable for two vanilla beans! Maybe one of us should as Martha.....<br /><a href="http://a2zmommy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A2Z Mommy And What’s In between</a>Tracy MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615611919340469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-8043163728616003332013-04-26T12:37:19.991-04:002013-04-26T12:37:19.991-04:00I am also friends with Martha and love making my o...I am also friends with Martha and love making my own vanilla extract.

So it was ready when she gave it to me. Neat huh. I think its economical. I guess. I use a lot of vanilla and if you go somewhere like WalMart the teeny pure on is priced ridiculously. Before my mom gave the the bottomless one I used to buy a big bottle of vanilla from Sams. Actually I still do and use that one for french toast and things like that. But I use the special vanilla for my homemade goods.Kenya G.

It was quite funny her bringing these little jars of vodka and vanilla beans to church to pass out to each of us. She also said that you can continue to fill up the jar with vodka if you keep the vanilla bean in it. She said you just have to wait a few weeks each time you add in. What do you think of that? Thanks for the great post.
