Just a few simple ingredients and 5 minutes is all you need to make this delicious vanilla bean paste.
Yield: 84
Prep time: PT5M
Total time: PT5M

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 ounces plain vodka (80 proof) (about ⅔ cup )
- 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 ounces whole vanilla bean (Grade A preferred)

Instructions
1. Combine the sugar, vodka, corn syrup, and water in the cup of a high speed blender. If you only have a pitcher for your blender, you will want to double all of the ingredients.
2. Cut the vanilla beans into pieces that are about 2-3" in length and add to the blender cup.
3. Blend on the highest speed for about 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. I use the extract function on the Ninja Foodi Blender.
4. Pour into storage containers with a lid and store at room temperature for up to 1 year.
