Vanilla Sugar 2

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 plump moist vanilla beans
4 cups sugar

Flatten the vanilla beans and cut them in half lengthwise. With
a small spoon, scrape out the seeds and place them in a small bowl; reserve
the seeds for another use. Combine
the pods and the sugar in a jar. Cover securely and set aside
at room temperature for several days to scent and flavor the
sugar. Use in place of regular sugar when preparing desserts.
Vanilla sugar can be stored indefinitely. As the sugar is used,
replace with new sugar. (When baking, I return rinsed and
thoroughly dried pods to the sugar mixture as an added boost.)
