Vanilla pod

A plump, fragrant vanilla pod to give your desserts a flavour that no industrial extract or flavouring can match.

How to use it

• Split the pod lengthways and scrape out the tiny black seeds with the tip of a knife.
• Infuse the seeds and pod in hot milk or cream for custard, rice pudding, panna cotta or flan.
• Once used, rinse and dry the pod, then slip it into a jar of sugar: you'll have homemade vanilla sugar.

Store in an airtight tube or jar, away from light.
