make vanilla extract with them. What is my best approach?
From Sylvia : Here’s the recipe I have for Vanilla Extract: Place 6 long beans, split open and cut into pieces into 1 quart of good qual- ity vodka. Cap tightly and place in a cool dark place. Leave for 1 month to 6 weeks, shaking the bottle occasionally. Before using, sieve through a strainer lined with cheesecloth (or use a cof- fee filter), rinse the bottle to remove residue, and pour back into the bot- tle. Add one whole vanilla bean and cap tightly until used. 8.1.8 [Dandelion wine] From: Nicole A. Okun Subject: Re: The dandelions won (wine recipe) Mmmmm, dandelion wine!

The recipe: 3 qt fully opened dandelion flowers 2 gallons very hot water 3-1/2 cups sugar 2 oranges 2 lemons 3/4 cup lemon juice 1 tsp grape
