following on from another thread, a bulk buy of vanilla pods is underway!

The idea is much the same as other co-operatives, in that I'll co-ordinate getting money in and vanilla out, but we all benefit from the discount, postage should be fairly minimal, as vanilla pods aren't very heavy!

At the moment it looks like about 5 vanilla pods (20 grams) for about a fiver, depending on postage and how many takers there are, as we can order either in multiples of 200g or in kilos if there are enough people. You can, of course have multiples of 5. Either PM me, or shout here, and I'll sort out numbers and definite costs. Once I have numbers, then I'll start chasing for money, and when thats all in, away we go, just in time for the icecream season!

Hmm, mysterious. What does the chap have planned for 10 pods? Wine? Soap? Enquiring minds need to know...(alright, nosey Bugses want to know if there are any more messes that she could possibly get an excuse for trying out herself

A year or two ago I was lucky enough to get- very cheaply- almost 250g of really top notch ethically harvested and fair trade vanilla from a friend in the right part of the world. We put 1 pod into a gallon of rum, and a few weeks later had the most fab vanilla rum ever, we put a lot of the rest under sugar and just keep swapping in new sugar, which also holds the beans in good condition for later use, and we put about 10 split pods under high proof alcohol where they still sit and which is the most wonderful vanilla essence for cooking with.I do recommend using one of your pods for liqueurs though, most excellent stuff. Also made the house smell fab when the parcel arrived. I'm still up to my ears in vanilla or I'd join in this bulk buy too!
