Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 From: a van Campen <martinavancampen@...> Subject: Vanilla >Are you sure it is actually made WITH bourbon and not Bourbon Vanilla? Vanilla comes from the former French island of Bourbon, which is now called Ile de la Reunion I think. It is somewhere near Madagascar. (There's two of them, and I don't know them apart, have to look it up in a dictionary to be sure..) The bottle says, " On the tropical island of Madagascar grows the world's finest Bourbon Vanilla, used by professional chefs throughout the world. The vbanilla bean, derived from the rare speciies, Vanilla Planifolia, is used to create our 100% Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract. Enhance your favorite recipes with this high-quality, all natural Kirkland Signature Vanilla Extract. " I'm not so sure of what I've got here. Just as well, I've decided it tastes funny and have gone back to the homemade stuff. >We use the beans and soak them in a liquid, to get the flavour. So why not soak them in boiling water? I depends on how and in what you want to use them. I'll try that. >Over here they're usually put in pastry and puddings. I put it in custard and hot milk. >You're ideas are all very good though! It's good to have nice flavours to replace the sweet tooth we all used to have :-) ty and yw >I use fresh ginger and ginger powder a lot, but I'm not that afraid of the molds. My candida is bad, but not that bad I think. (and hope. I did the test) It is easy to counteract any afloxin with a dash of seasalt with the spice in a small amount of water then wait a few minutes for it to counteract. Similar to the way to get rid of afloxin's on nuts and seeds. Have a Happy New Year a! & laterz, --nh __________________________________________ DSL – Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello All I assume vanilla extract with grain alcohol would be not be a GAPS food, but what about vanilla with glycerin? Thanks Kathy in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
