Bourbon vanilla beans questions [View all]

Hi DUers,

My grandson got me a pack of Vanilla Bros. bourbon vanilla beans. I was thinking I could use them to make more vanilla extract, but after looking at the package, not sure if I can or should use them to make vanilla. There are 55 beans in the pack, and the only instructions are to wrap them in the waxed paper provided and use the package they came in to store.

I know of recipes where you chop the pod or beans or scrape the inside of the pod and add to recipes.

If anyone can give me some ideas, I will appreciate it. I was going to look on the company site, but it was loading slowly, so I thought i'd ask here.

Thanks!
