This must have been the way the men kept the little lady happy when they were making their moonshine...........for medicinal and baking purposes only. Ahem.
This is quite simple to make and only requires 2 whole vanilla beans and 1/2 cup of bourbon. Take a sharp knife splitting the bean in half and scrape out the seeds. Carefully put them into the jar along with the beans and pour over the bourbon. Give it a good shake, push the beans down into the bourbon and store tightly sealed in the pantry for 2 weeks.
When you have used this up keep the same jar and keep adding more vanilla beans and more bourbon.
Apparently this is more mild than regular vanilla.
