Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup corn oil
1 Tahitian vanilla bean

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a small saucepan. Split the bean and scrape in the seeds. Cut the pod into one-inch lengths and add.
  • Simmer the oil over very low heat for five minutes. Remove from heat and allow to macerate at least six hours before using.
  • Store the oil in a covered jar, with the pods still in it. The flavor will continue to intensify for a day or so and then remain constant almost indefinitely. Use to grease baking pans, to add flavor to salad dressings (especially for fruit) and as a sauteing medium for vegetables such as carrots, summer squash and new onions.
