Notes
Use fresh vanilla beans for the best flavor; look for soft, fragrant pods. Store your vanilla paste in a dark glass jar in a cool, dry place for maximum freshness. Label the jar with the date made, and aim to use it within six months to a year. Vanilla paste can be used in baking, frostings, beverages, and even savory dishes for a unique flavor twist.
