I purchased some vanilla bean paste and I’m wondering if I could use that?

I did something similar eight or nine years ago when I lucked into a large batch of vanilla beans very cheaply. I filled a bottle with as many beans as I could shove into it and topped it off with vodka. Whenever it got down about 25% I’d add more vodka. When we moved a few months ago I gave the still full and lucious bottle to a friend as we would be in limbo for a bit.
We’ve settled and I’m looking to start another batch. Thanks to your blog I’ll try rum this time. It’s hard to imagine anything being better than the thick, rich, batch of my last bottle, but I’m pleased to try!

In reply to kathy. I used 6-8 per container of liquor. I kept them in an airtight container (the ones I didn't use), and they are still good over a year later!

when using .275 ml. did you use 6-8 beans or all of the 20 that you bought? will the beans get stale if you don’t make the vanilla with all of them at one time?

In reply to Rosemarie. Thank you for your story. I'm glad you were able to find this recipe and I hope it will remind you of your friend who used to bring it to you! Mexican Vanilla is my favorite.
