Notes

  • 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.
