Vanilla Bean Paste. How To Make Homemade Vanilla Beans Paste.

"Vanilla bean paste is a thick, almost jelly-like paste that is full of the tiny vanilla flecks called vanilla caviar used in cakes, icings, ice cream and other desserts that call for an intense vanilla flavor.

I am going to show you how I make vanilla bean paste for a fraction of the cost of store-bought vanilla bean paste while maintaining that intense vanilla bean flavor that is so desirable."
