I just started this. I placed it in a canning jar with lid. Its been 3 days and already the sugar is turning a lovely golden color. Cant wait to give this to my husband so he can use it for his coffee.

I bought 1/2 pound of vanilla beans last year because I had never worked with the whole bean before and was curious. After making vanilla extract with about 1/4 of the beans I made lots of yummy thing with the rest like creme brulee, ice cream, pastry cream, cakes, etc etc etc. Instead of "discarding" the beans (WHO DOES THAT lol I just rinsed and dried them and popped them into a sealed glass jar with sugar. It is so amazingly good, I couldn't possibly go back to baking with regular sugar! But it was still a little faint flavoring in the actual dish (but just smelling the perfumed sugar is good enough! I decided I wanted a stronger flavor so I ground about 1/8 ob vanilla beans then put that in a food processor with about 5 lbs of sugar and mixed it for a minute or so. The smell is so intense and Im going to leave it in there for about a month then sift out the sugar (to ensure there aren't too big of pieces of vanilla, mainly just the caviar and bake my heart out with it!
