Pork Free Vanilla Sugar
There is something quietly magical about turning two humble ingredients into a pantry staple that elevates everything it touches. Granulated sugar and a single vanilla bean are all it takes — no extracts, no additives, no mystery ingredients to second-guess. The split pod and its seeds slowly perfume the sugar over the course of a week, building a warm, floral depth that store-bought vanilla sugar simply cannot match. A daily shake keeps things moving and ensures every grain gets coated with that intoxicating aroma. Once it's ready, you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly — stirred into coffee, dusted over pastries, or folded into whipped cream. It keeps beautifully at room temperature, and the pod continues to do its job long after you've started using the batch.
