Just made these, yummy!
I didn't have the light muscovada sugar, just used dark to try the recipe out.
Delish! Thanks.Saving 2.00 coinsGrocerys set to 40.00 pwBeing Thrifty0 -

what a rubbish picture
i have left it quite big in the hope you can see the vanilla pods in the bottom
but as you can see, it makes a lush dark liquid
i made this 12th july, i shall strain it and use now
i tested a little the other day
and its ready!0 -

Thats FAB! :j
What are the quantities............ its so expensive to buy vanilla essence. think I was 3.75 the other day.Saving 2.00 coinsGrocerys set to 40.00 pwBeing Thrifty0 -
i added 3 pods to that size bottle
its a 350ml bottle
i think i could have got away with 2, my pods are huge and bendy
and its very potent
i am using it in drops rather than teaspoon fulls
i used the nielson massey extract as i found it the best, and its £7.99 for 118ml
so a cheap bottle of vodka & 3 or 4 pods you have far superior stuff for roughly the same as a small amount of bought stuff0 -
Thanks midnightraven3.
I have just trashed my living room, trying to make One, yes just ONE pot of Gold........... hoping the others will be less tasking. I think I got too big a tub, and I had to pack it with foam, then cover in gold tissue. I might have to look for a new tub size, what are you all using? I dont want to not pack it with foam, I would rather the cup/tub/container was mainly chocolates.
What do you think?Saving 2.00 coinsGrocerys set to 40.00 pwBeing Thrifty0 -
