Tips for Making Instant Pot Vanilla Extract
Weight Watchers Points
There is 1 Freestyle point in a serving of Instant Pot Vanilla Extract.
Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
Instant Pot Vanilla Extract is ready to go in as little as 1 day but for the best homemade vanilla extract let sit for up to two weeks before use.
Do not use a stovetop pressure cooker or cook near an open flame.
Do not use a quick pressure release EVER with this recipe. You have to do a full natural pressure release as to not release alcohol vapor into the air.
Beans need to be completely submerged in the vodka.
For richer and darker homemade vanilla extract do 45 mins in the Instant Pot using a larger jar. Add 2 cups of vodka per jar with 6 vanilla sticks cut per jar.
Use a new canning jar or a canning jar that has not been used more than two times previously.
Make sure liquid is just below the first jar thread as the liquid needs room to expand.
