[Sca-cooks] OT OOP Vanilla Extract

[Johnna Holloway]

I buy Penzeys by mail order.Ok, it's expensive
and a major investment, but I just buy  the pint.
It keeps in the dark for an extended period of time.

has their take on the market.
They list sugar as their ingredient.

>Hello I've never posted to the list but I've got a question. When did they start putting corn syrup in vanilla extract?  I have found such in the Publix store brand, in the McCormick brand, and in the Nielsen-Massey brand at the gourmet shop. The only kind that didn't have corn syrup was the Spice Islands brand but, at $11.99 for two ounces, it's three or four times more expensive. Was there a problem with the vanilla crop? Is home-made vanilla extract just as good?
