Hi Teresa! You absolutely can! Add the pecans for 1-2 months then remove them and taste test. If you want more pecan flavor, add a new batch of pecans for another 1-2 months.
Sometimes pecans will absorb the alcohol, so make sure your vanilla beans stay submerged and don’t be afraid to “top off” the bottle with the same alcohol you started with to keep the fluid level the same. Happy Extracting!
Could you add the pecans in your vanilla that is already making ?
Hi Brenda, we haven’t tried extracting with dates yet but that would make for a great experiment! One to add to our list :-) Please let us know how it works out if you give it a go!
I thought about making vanilla extract. Except, this time putting some dates in with the Madagascar vanilla beans, vodka and cinnamon stick? Have you tried this? Let me know!
