I just can’t express my delight whenever I see a Homestead Hearts video pop up. You never disappoint!

[@devolinski]

Industrialcrow. Here Here!. Agree 100 %

[@lisrenee]

That look… Then “sure” almost took me out!!! 😂🤣🤣🤣 you always brighten up my day! 🤗

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

I appreciated that look as well..

[@adoxartist1258]

When using alcohol, add a small, clean, dry chunk of oak wood in the last week or so to help tamp down the alcohol smell, helping you detect the vanilla. Don't worry if it still doesn't smell like store bought. You have the good stuff! Also, don't throw out the used beans! Google what to do with used vanilla beans. TONS of great stuff!

[@Ourquest4adventure]

Those used beans will keep working for well over 20 years! Yep, you read that right...20 years! When you start getting low just add more alcohol, glycerin or whatever liquid medium you use.

[@adoxartist1258]

@Maria Last time I made vanilla I used 7x distilled vodka in one batch and cinnamon spiced rum in another. The vodka really smells very strongly of alcohol but cooked and baked just beautifully! I'll try white rum next, thanks for mentioning it! 💛 I let mine sit for a couple years. Oh, the yum!

[@adoxartist1258]

@@Ourquest4adventure Yes indeed! For those who don't know, just make sure none of your beans are sticking up out of the alcohol or glycerin to prevent molding. If you don't have enough liquid simply cut the beans down to fit. 🤓👍

[@lindaSee89]

Use the repurposed beans for making vanilla bean sugar.

[@shadygardens2256]

I laughed out loud when you talked about people you haven’t talk to in 10 years calling you saying send me some of that vanilla extract. Your expression was priceless😂!

[@MsRaerae5]

Mrs H, you are one of the most wonderful, caring, giving and sharing individuals I’ve seen in a long while. Thank you so much for all that you do. God bless you and your family always.

[@nascarmama123]

Amen to that!

[@minkademko2335]

Who knew? Who knew that extract could be made with glycerin instead of alcohol?! You are THE BEST, my friend 🤠🖐️👍❤️

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

I came here to say that..

[@lindaSee89]

I used vodka. Some people use their favorite brand. Some chose cheaper brands. Your choice. Use the whole bottle. Cut your beans in half. Then split length wide. Cover the beans in vodka wide mouth jar. If you use a metal lid use a piece of wax paper, place it over jar and place the canning lid next and screw it on. Wax paper will prevent any rusting and it will prevent any possible leakage from jar while its aging. I found my jars leaked when shook without wax paper. Plastic lids can be used a well. Follow Mrs. H shaking schedule and beans count.

[@brendadodd1075]

I made mine on 2/22/23 it shoul be ready by Thanksgiving baking. Thank you for your inspirations. I made2 qt jars with 7 beans each jar.

[@hillbillyROandD]

Yes, finally a booze free extract! Thank you so much, hugs

[@ajalicea1091]

Ro and D Homesteading Patera at Appalachia Homestead is changeling all homesteaders. She asked for viewers to spread the word.

[@judyabernathy80]

Lady Heart, you crack me up with those facial expressions and simple works to put someone in their place. Like the lady who wanted you to send her some of your vanilla!! Wahaaa!!! Thank you for showing us how to make extracts. You are an awesome teacher!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@lieuwina]

Mrs H you are so funny and those looks had me in stitches. Thank you for making me have a laugh.

[@trishkcmo3683]

I have been giving madagascar vanilla as gifts. I use grade a beans and quality vodka and wait at least 6 months (preferably a year) before using. 1oz beans per cup alcohol. So good.

[@Actionswoman]

You are just so delightful! What a breath of fresh air and love. Thank you so much for your sweet spirit.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Mrs. H, retired Executive Chef 28 years and you are right, you don't need to use spirits. It looks like you have 100 vanilla beans, LOL Those are real good beans. Thanks for sharing. God Bless, Mike

[@cynthiaharding9536]

Your sense of humor is so refreshing!

[@vernahelvikmontanamomma8737]

You are an angel. I have been wanting to make my own vanilla. I even have the beans. I just can’t make myself go into the liquor store. I could just see my momma come out of grave after me. So I can make it now. 🎉

[@colleent3631]

😆

[@devolinski]

Lol

[@createincomecoach]

You are SO SKILLFUL and INTUITIVE whether planting, growing or preserving Nature's Best! THANK YOU for teaching all of us with such joy! Jamila Harris St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

[@kerryberry142]

I did vanilla, lemon, orange, coffee, almond (I crushed mine), and mint early last year and was part of gifts to all the bakers in my family. They all have asked if that will be in their basket this year 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nope this year all organic soups and body care I made with herbs and dried flowers from my garden.

[@jazdan6471]

We've made this and let me tell you - She speaks the truth!! Once you do this, you will never go back! Now regular vanilla tastes flavorless and almost acidic. We did coffee and lemon. Simply beautiful!

[@juliezaro8104]

I just love watching you and your videos! You make me laugh which is great when I have a bad day♥️

[@bethmollet4956]

Double charge the naysayers! You make me smile, friend-😎

[@toniearnest1861]

Keep using those beans over and over, to make more vanilla,🥰 they don't go bad !!!!

[@Adayinthelife1201]

I love making my own vanilla extract, I followed your video of using glycerin and didn't member that I had made it until this video. Unscrewed the top and good God from zion. The smell is amazing! Can't wait to try it.

[@pamelastuper1734]

Love your sense of humor! 🤣💜💚

[@jazziecat2354]

That when you hear from them when they want something from you LOL!! I am new to your channel I live in Louisiana up North.

[@chiefschicktx]

"This is the truth." lol. Preach it. I've actually got two batches going (a Grade A batch and a Grade B batch). I'm curious to find out if there's a difference in time and/or flavor.

[@tonimccoy5691]

Mrs. H, you are too funny!! Love it. Keep up the good work and comedy. It’s November 6, 2022. I’m checking you out before heading to church, you made my day with that look!! LOL!!

[@tanyaslaughter9070]

I’m so glad you have a recipe for not using alcohol.

[@tac5375]

That stare then the sure 🤣. I'm a new follower & just love your channel!! I wish I live near you so, I could shop from your garden!

[@carolynsteele1465]

I have never known anyone to make vanilla extract. Actually, I have never seen vanilla beans. Awesome!

[@phyllisclark3896]

Hahaha you are so funny Mrs. H. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@virginiahigginbotham719]

Thank you Mrs H. I have some vanilla extract brewing - so to speak. Just a quick note on the labels that wear like they all seem to do here's a quick suggestion: Use a sharpie marker. You can use alcohol to remove it from the glass so you can re-label you jars. I'm not sure about plastic lids but you can use it on the metal flats as well. If you think a jar will be handled a lot also mark it on the bottom inside the indention ring. Thank you for sharing your life, talents, and education with all of us. 💖🌟

[@greatfulchristian4314]

Ty mrs h. Great idea vanilla extract

[@AbidingNHim7]

I LOVE YOU! You have a great personality!! 😊

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

Here for your Vanilla Extract.... That "look' you gave your folks was too funny!

[@lilasdavis102]

You are so fun ! Love your videos ! I have learned so much and appreciate your time and effort. ❤

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

Ok, now I'm jealous... Too expensive for me.. Gosh I can smell and taste it through KZbin 😋

[@rhondagarcia2776]

I haven’t seen you in quite a while. I’ve missed you and Mr Heart. But I’m watching everything I missed. Just love you two.

That’s gonna be saving me so much money can’t thank you enough

[@frankkrawczyk3687]

Wow ! This was a very good casting and tutorial for vanilla extract for coffee and all associated food usage in this ingredient !!! I personally been following your program and prepping growing and the likes of D I Y . I have a question are you taken and or available for marriage ? Lol ! I’m teasing MRS . Homestead ! To Mr . Homestead I’m saying this with love and respect Mr.Homestead ! Your a fortunate young man ! And just the opposite Mrs . Homestead is a fortunate young lady ! Both of you folks have proven the idea of the institute of marriage and what it will take to survive what the future holds for us ! Faith and walking with God is what it will take ! To the Homesteaders and all God bless ! Excellent videos I’m learning a lot and will be catching up key castings if not all of Homesteads productions ! Keep on moving forward folks ! Good job!

[@ladydhayney3700]

My husband dislikes coffee. When I would make any thing with coffee added, he always detected it. I gave up trying to make things with that addition. I do make pumpernickel bread which adds instant coffee. He never detected that. I like to make my vanilla in rum. If you have to add rum to a recipe, it is on hand. Also I made anise with star anise when I lived in FL. Found the individual star anise at bulk food store. Also I put ginger in vodka and that turned out great. Would like a demonstration on how to make a maple flavored syrup for pancakes.

[@MeSmith94]

I’m so glad I found you, you are such a delight! I will be making every extract flavor there is because of you. I now have a bucket list for canning (it’s your fault): 1. Extract 2. Beans 3. Tomatoes etc., & etc., Enjoy Your Blessing

[@catherineribeiro5971]

That is some beautiful extract 😄 and I believe you

Thanks for the video. You got me in trouble with this video. I am in Australia. I couldn't sleep so I started watching your video. I was laughing so hard I woke everyone up. I couldn't help myself. It was so funny. Thanks so much. I have to watch the beginning again.

[@colleent3631]

First time watching your video, stumbled on it, love it, you made me smile, ill be back😊

[@burnindaylighthomestead2977]

Lol, I was lookin'. I made 2 bottles. 1 with spiced rum and 1 with vodka. And Madagascar vanilla beans. $$$$$$ but worth it. 1/2 gal. Of each been sitting 1 1/2 years Ms. Heart. Now to bottle, label, for gifts. Can't wait to try it myself.

[@sharannda7883]

I'm so glad I didn't miss your video today. I'm going to do this. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for being you. Love you!

[@juliamarple3785]

You are hysterical 🤣 I'm going to start making my own vanilla extract, because I go through so many little bottles of it. Also I like how your little spice/dehydration jars are arranged out on the counter. Wow I had never considered about those other extracts. That's cool!

[@Avemarianow]

Tiramisu would be Devine with the Coffee Extract

[@connief5154]

Have you tried dehydrating you eggs in your Excalibur? Powered eggs are wonderful for fresh scrambled eggs and used in cooking recipes. I bought some trays for my Excalibur to pour the scrambled eggs into then after drying put them in my food processor to make the power. Then sealed up the jars with an oxygen absorber and they are great.

[@TamRob]

I did powder eggs last month and am glad I did because the cost of eggs is steady going up!

[@pamreece4400]

Thank you Mrs H....I just love your videos and your sweet, sweet spirit.

Well, color me excited!! I can't wait to start making extracts now! Thanks soooooo much!

[@sharonloomis5264]

Planning on using your recipe for extract. Just need to buy jars and find the glycerin. Saved your videos under "Pay attention, learn."

[@ajalicea1091]

I purchased a gallon jug of glycerin from Amazon and it was reasonably priced

I saw a video recently where they dehydrated the beans and made vanilla sugar. I've got to try that.

[@tracyg4783]

Excellent Christmas gifts

[@emilyneal7888]

I want to make vanilla but haven’t yet because I don’t want to in a liquor store. Now I see I don’t have to. I’m gonna watch your extract video.

[@tomikiawells3629]

Thanks for sharing, checking out the original video righty now😊

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

I remember when you did that video they look good and strong. Thanks for your teaching. and sharing

[@comelys2071]

So helpful! Thank you bunches! 💜

[@CarolinaOmaSteph]

I really enjoy vanilla extract infused top shelf rum or bourbon to give more bolder flavor. When using extract in baking the alcohol evaporates and leaves the flavoring. In addition I do peppermint, orange, lemon extracts.

[@lisareaume3857]

I made some this way. It is the best! We don't use alcohol in our house,so the glycerin is great!

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

Re Alcohol vs Glycerin: Both get the job done but alcohol will extract more, work faster, and last indefinitely. Alcohol extract/tinctures will be ready in 3 months and very potent at 6 months. If you don't want to buy a half gallon of alcohol, just make a quart jar. Get the cheapest vodka or rum; it will bake/cook off. After 3-4 batches add more vanilla if you notice that the flavor is weakening, but you can basically have an unending supply. Glycerites start losing potency (especially medicinal ones vs just for flavor) and aren't recommended to be used beyond 2y (but I'm sure you will have used it before then 😉). HTH 🌺

[@marieholly559]

So true!

[@anitabutler3468]

you crack me up. i love listen to you.

You are the best!!! I am so happy I found your channel.!!!!

[@ajalicea1091]

I love this update thank you so much Mrs H. You always do such a good job when you're presenting stuff like this and giving us alternatives to things that some people might be objective to like the alcohol. I know some people who use the non-alcohol version from the grocery store because the fact they have such a past with alcohol and they don't want the temptation. Patara from Appalachia Homestead; is asking for other Homestead KZbin sites to contact her about a homestead challenge. I know you and Mr H would love to do it.

[@AlohaPrepper]

Are you considering growing some vanilla beans? You can do it as a house plant. How about learning how to make your own glycerin to be a sustainable source? I use alcohol, so that's sustainable for me, but I do like the thicker consistency idea. You always get my mind thinking of different possibilities! Thank you for all you do!

[@DutchAlaskagirl]

I have started using half alcohol and half glycerin. It makes for a very pleasant, less harsh extracts

[@sherriemyles2776]

Vanilla bean only grows in certain climate. Hawaii, India, Madagascar, Mexico just to name a few.

[@thatcrystallady_donna]

I have vanilla bean plants in my house. Just mist them daily and water plant once week or so. Growing slowly

[@dianalake9430]

I guess I'm going to get busy making extracts for next year. Great tips, thank you. I'll have to go back to watch the videos. Tfs

Coffee extract is good for red eye gravies as well 😋

[@raymondpalacios3032]

I made 10 each pint and a half vanilla extract using alcohol. I made them just over 2 years ago. I never realized how expensive it is to buy at the grocery store. I have enough to last my life time.

You can also soak them in vinegar or an oil. The vinegar you would use for cleaning stuff around your home. The oil you would use as a furniture polish; and orange oil is really the best for wood furniture. (I learned this from an antique dealer)
