FOR PURE VANILLA

Inc Article.

Vanilla pods. or beans. as they are
popularity called. as found in the
shops. look like dark brown. narrow
flexible strips, from three to eight
Inches in length. hattened and hooked
1T the stem end.
The surface is furrOwed lensthwise
during the process of curing. and Is
often covered with tiny crystals.
Within are innumerable minute. shin.
ing, bead-like black seeds. imbedded In
IN aromatic sticky pulp. Much OF the
commercial extract is adulterated with
the Tonka bean, which belongs to the
same family, but Is not nearly SO deli
cate.
The cheapest bargain" extracts are
made entirely from the TOnka bean. 1t
has been said that In most cases where
poisoning has taken place after eating
ice cream, cheap vanilla has been the
favor employed. Where the pure arti-
Gle is prepared at home there Is never
any danger.
The vanilla plant is N orchid and
the only one whose fruit has a COM
mercial value.
Another way of preparing the flavor
ing is to split four beans and clip in
bits with scissors. Put seeds. husks
and all into bottle. pour over them
one pint of brandy or whisky. cork
tightly. shaking frequently for the first
four or Ave weeks.
Vanilla Sugar for Fiavoring.-An-
other excellent way to utilize the pods
for flavoring is this: Cut one ounce Of
the Mexican vanilla beans into very
small pieces, using shear or q knife.
Add one ounce grain alcohol. macerate
for 80 minutes, then add two ounces
sugar Of milk. Break up seven ounces
rock candy crystals with hammer.
FIRST wrapping a cloth around 1t. and
add to the other ingredients. Add also
two pounds powdered sugar. When
thoroughly, mixed put into a we'll
stoppered bottle. This is unequaled
for purity and flavor.
Lemon Extract.-Before cutting the
lemons to extract the juice, scrub well.
rinse and wipe with soft cloth. Then
crate of all the delicate yellow skin.
taking re that none o. the white
part of the rind goes in. as this will
give q bitter taste. Pack small bot
tie full of these yellow shavings. cover
with pure grain alcohol and set away
for three weeks. At the end of that
time strain and bottle.
Lemon Sugar.-Place the grated yel
low rind of lemons in a wide-mOuthed
bottle and cover thickly with granu-
lated sugar. Keep the bottle tightly
corked. The sugar becomes saturated
with the oil from the peel and WI en-
used imparts a delicious flavor.
