How We Made the Homemade Vanilla, Part 2

After spending late Summer and all Autumn in the closet (minus an occasional shaking), the vanilla vats were ready to come into the light. The beans had diffused well into the vodka, creating a perfect smelling extract

Then the fun began with pouring it into the glass jars we had ordered. 

I had put together a simple label for them, and the hardest part turned out to be printing it on the pre-cut label sheets. After some great misadventure, all turned out well, and we were ready to apply them to the bottles.

All that remained was to tie gift labels to them all and plan the mailing and giving. It was a lot of fun, and we love the way it tastes.
