Since the price of vanilla extract went up substantially in the past couple years, I thought I would try making my own. I am used to using the Nelsen-Massey brand. The only difference I have tasted in using my home made vanilla seems to be in home made whipped cream where the vanilla plays a major roll. Otherwise I will be making my Vodka vanilla until the price comes down again. I did purchase a lesser expensive extract and it has a distinctly different flavor, sweeter. My favorite is still the NW but using that is truly gourmet in price and flavor!
