Description

This vanilla sugar recipe with Blush Strawberry Dust adds a delicate floral and fruity aroma that makes everyday moments feel like a treat. It’s a simple, fragrant sweetener perfect for transforming breakfast toast or coffee into something special.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1.5 vanilla beans (Grade A, plump)
  • 2.5 tablespoons (18.5g) Blush Strawberry Dust

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Gather a clean, completely dry, airtight 1-quart (1-liter) mason jar, 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar, 1-2 vanilla beans, and 2-3 tablespoons (15-22g) Blush Strawberry Dust. Ensure all tools are completely dry to prevent any clumping.
  2. Prepare Vanilla Beans: Place a vanilla bean on a cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, slice it lengthwise from tip to tip, exposing the tiny, fragrant seeds inside. Scrape out these dark, sticky seeds with the back of your knife into a small bowl. Reserve both the scraped seeds and the empty pods.
  3. Combine and Infuse: Layer about half of the granulated sugar into your clean, dry jar. Add the vanilla seeds and the scraped pods on top of this sugar layer. Pour in the remaining sugar, then evenly sprinkle the Blush Strawberry Dust across the top. Secure the lid tightly and gently shake the jar for 10-15 seconds to distribute the dust.
  4. Allow Infusion Time: Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark pantry for at least 1-2 weeks. For a stronger aroma, allow it to infuse for a month or longer, giving it a gentle shake every few days.

Notes

Ensure all tools and the jar are completely dry to prevent sugar from clumping; if clumps form, break them up with a fork. Do not skip scraping the vanilla seeds, as they provide intense aroma. Quality vanilla beans and pure strawberry dust make a significant difference. For spicier notes, add star anise or a cinnamon stick during infusion. For a lighter version, use just 1 tablespoon of strawberry dust.
