Pistachio Free Vanilla Sugar
There is something quietly magical about turning two humble pantry staples into something that smells like a bakery. A split vanilla bean and a cup of granulated sugar are all it takes — no extracts, no additives, no mystery ingredients to second-guess. The bean gets nestled right into the sugar, and over the course of a week the whole jar transforms into something deeply fragrant and warmly sweet. It's the kind of ingredient that elevates everything it touches, from morning coffee to homemade cookies to a simple bowl of fresh fruit. Because the recipe is built entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients, it sidesteps the label-reading anxiety that can come with flavored sugars and spice blends sold at the store. Once you have a jar of this on your counter, you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
