Tips Vanilla Sauce

Why you should only use real vanilla and everything you need to know you can read in my Articles about vanilla and vanillin read up.
First, cut the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp knife. Make sure that you do not cut it completely, but only the outer wall. Then scrape out the vanilla pulp with a spoon handle (see picture below).

Scrape the vanilla pulp out of the pod with a spoon handle. The picture shows a special vanilla pod (Vanille bleue), therefore the pulp appears very moist.

If you are missing the yellowish hue of the egg version, you can add a pinch of turmeric. Or you can use brown sugar, e.g. Raw cane sugar*. This results in a light beige shade.
Simply leave the vanilla pod in the vanilla sauce. This way it releases even more flavour. With time, the vanilla taste becomes more and more intense.

More Sauces that are quick and easy from a few ingredients can be made yourself, you will also find on my site, including various Caramel sauces, Chocolate sauce or Strawberry sauce.

I especially like vanilla sauce with Peach ice cream or Cassis ice cream.
