I do quite a bit of baking, So i have to run and get vanilla essence often. So i decided to try my own vanilla essence. I purchased them online and when i looked in google for the recipe i came across recipes of vanilla extract, vanilla sugar and ofcourse vanilla bean paste. This vanilla paste inspired me to try and it and that is the first thing which i made is this. My whole house smelled heavenly when i was making this. Now i have a jar of the delicious vanilla bean paste. I can use them in my baking recipes or anything and it will make them even better..

I used this  Earthon 10 Gourmet A+ Grade Organic Vanilla Beans (About 6-8 inch long)

    Can this be made with an alternative sweetener? I don't eat white sugar anymore and would hate to have to buy a big bag for 1/2 c. I do have several types of sweetener to choose from, even honey. Thanks in advance for your response!
