The women here at ITKM are always on the lookout for ways to remove prepared edibles from our lives.  The evidence against pre-packaged food is mounting, and while many of us have phased out the frozen dinners and salty boxed/canned foods, most overlook the simple staples.  We must be weary of the dressings, sauces, condiments, and other hazards lurking in the pantry and refrigerator.  I am very fond of baking, always have been, so you can imagine the amount of vanilla extract I use.  While I took out imitation long ago, I recently decided I should be making it from scratch.  Thanks to this simple tutorial, I now do.  Find the entire simple process here at Whipper Berry.  I have found these make for excellent gifts!  Start now as they take about 2-3 months to fully develop.
