A través de VanillaPura, podemos asociarnos con muchas personas maravillosas en todo el mundo. Esta receta fue proporcionada por Carol S., una de nuestras amigas desde hace mucho tiempo y talentosa creadora de extractos. Publicaremos aquí su receta de extracto de vainilla y su nombre, en sus propias palabras:
Yo lo llamaría...
.
La fortuna de Willa
.
Es después de mi mamá...
.
En honor a su vida y su sencillez, ofrezco un estándar...
.
Ella no era complicada en su forma de vivir. Era una cocinera increíble, pero era una buena cocina sólida de "granja".
.
Ojalá hubiera empezado a hacer vainilla antes de que ella falleciera. Le habría regalado una cantidad enorme. Para ella habría sido oro. Usó una cantidad increíble de vainilla.
.
Una de las cosas que me sigue llamando la atención es su receta de dulce de azúcar. Dulce de azúcar de la vieja escuela. Azúcar pura, mantequilla, vainilla, sal, leche evaporada. Esa mujer tampoco tuvo nunca un termómetro para dulces. Le regaló su receta y la sartén de hierro fundido en la que la preparó a mi hijo mediano para que continuara la tradición. Me prometió que cuando recuperara el gusto [después de tener COVID], me prepararía un poco. Normalmente, eso es sólo algo navideño.
.
Entonces, la "receta" que ofrezco es simplemente 4 oz de frijoles de Madagascar combinados con 750 ml. de vodka Ketel 1.
.
La simplicidad de esto es perfecta para ella. A mamá no le gustaría tener lujos. Esa nunca fue ella. Ella querría productos básicos sólidos y buenos que le sirvieran en cualquier plato que pudiera preparar.
.
Y es por eso que Willa's Fortune parece encajar. Ella habría argumentado que no debería haber gastado tanto, y yo le habría respondido que ella valía cada centavo y más.
.
Desde Kansas... te envío amor,
.
Villancico.

Your precious tribute to your mother brought me to tears. She reminded me of my mother. My mother didn’t try the fancy dishes but what she did cook or bake was absolutely the best. I think we scored having these wonderful women for our mothers. Here’s to the ladies who made us who we are today!
This is such a lovely tribute to your precious momma. I, too, often wish I had started vanilla making before my mother passed away. She would have been so intrigued. Thank you for sharing your heartwarming story. ♥️
Beautiful tribute to your mom.
Mom would have turned 100 yesterday, Oct 12, 2022. I continue making various types of vanilla and share with my family. She would have been thrilled to have gotten some! She was the most remarkable woman I have ever known. This is for you, Momma!
Thank you to everyone who helps me honor her memory. Like this extract, she was simple in her ways, but never ordinary.
Have you found that using the Sous vide method changes the taste of the extracts?
What a beautiful tribute to your mother. I am so glad she gifted her recipe and cast Iron skillet to your son. Very few people pass on their knowledge anymore. I will make your mother’s recipe with my granddaughters in her Honor.
Be Blessed!
I have this recipe brewing right now, it’s only been 2weeks , long time to go but it will be worth it. Thank you
What a beautiful tribute to your mother. My Mamma Miley was the schoolhouse cook, then became a baker when the school shut down in the late ’50s. I remember her using imitation vanilla but her cakes were always delicious. This will make great gift: a homemade vanilla extract made in her memory by her granddaughter! Thank you for the inspiration.
I know I would have liked your mama! We share the same thinkin’, Truly enjoyed the story n love the name given “Willa’s Fortune”.
( Maybe her fortune was havin’ an appreciative and generous daughter)…. thank you for sharing
This is a Beautiful Homage to your Mom. I am sure she is feeling the Love!!
