The Cinnamon Berry Vanilla Extract Blend is closing for the season on September 15th — this one only comes around once a year.

It's an artisan blend built for spirits: freeze-dried blueberries and raspberries, warming cinnamon and nutmeg, and three rare vanilla beans — Sentani Indonesian, Sumatran, and Ecuadorian — layered together into something worth the wait. Just add spirits, and it lasts for years once it's ready.

It's on sale while it's still available. Whether you're baking a summer berry tart now or saving a jar for later, this is the last stretch to grab it before it disappears until next year.

We'll drop a link in the comments — don't wait too long on this one 🙂

Ever wonder why vanilla extract from the grocery store tastes different from a homemade batch?

Commercial makers speed things up with heat and pressure — raising the temperature to 120-140°F can extract vanillin in days instead of months. But that speed comes at a cost: heat can degrade or volatilize delicate aromatic compounds along the way. Home extraction takes the opposite approach — a slow, gentle infusion that can take months, giving all 250+ of vanilla's flavor compounds time to fully transfer into the alcohol.

Curious how commercial and home methods really compare? We'll post a link in the comments 🙂

Laurel's Drunken Fruit Jam is exactly the kind of recipe you want to have on hand this season.

Laurel is a member of our Facebook group, and a while back she shared her recipe for this jam - in her words, "these are all the rage for charcuterie, social gatherings, weddings and they all taste delicious." Mashed fruit and a splash of your favorite liquor slow-cook together in the crockpot for hours, then get finished with a split VanillaPura vanilla bean, scraped caviar and all, before everything goes into the jam pot to set.

One of our favorite parts of this community is seeing all the creative ways members use vanilla beans - find the recipe in the comments 🙂

Today's Daily Deal - The Mombacho

Named after Mombacho, one of Nicaragua's most iconic volcanoes, this V. Pompona bean is the first of its kind we've sourced from Nicaragua. Grown in volcanic soil under warm, humid conditions, it develops a complex, layered flavor with rich notes of fig, cherry, and raisin.

This Grade A bean is a beautiful choice for homemade vanilla extract, gourmet baking, or an artisan cocktail. Use code DAILYDEAL25 for 25% off.

We'll post a link to the Mombacho in the comments 🙂

Pre-order alert: our October Group Buy of Madagascar Pompona Vanilla Beans - The Ambilobe - closes this Monday.

This is a rare one. V. pompona represents less than 1% of global vanilla production, and The Ambilobe brings a distinctive flavor profile with unique banana notes that complement its rich vanilla character - a real departure from the more common V. planifolia beans you're used to.

Because this is a long-term pre-order that won't ship until the end of October, we're able to offer these premium Grade A beans at up to 56% off retail. A 4oz minimum applies.

If you've been curious about pompona, this is the moment - once Monday passes, this group buy is closed. Link in the comments 🙂

Ever wonder how one bottle of extract can carry an entire holiday season? Our Artisan Blend Pumpkin Spice Vanilla Extract is crafted with 8 all natural ingredients on a base of premium vanilla, built to bring warm spice and rich vanilla depth to everything it touches.

Swap it in for plain vanilla in a cheesecake batter and the warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove notes weave right through the filling — top it with spiced whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. It's just as good in a classic pumpkin pie, giving grandma's recipe a cozy upgrade. We've got 11 ways to use it this season — we'll post a link in the comments 🙂

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Joyce Raum: Beautiful Buttery Ugandan Beans, by the pound!

My beautiful , oily, fragrant Ugandan beans arrived yesterday. Ugandans are some of my very favorite vanilla beans, prompting me to give considerable thought to how I wanted to best use them.

I have more than an ample supply of mature vanilla extracts and made a batch of vanilla bean paste earlier this summer…I decided to create three 24 oz each double fold extracts with my pound of Ugandan beans.

Vodka will provide a thick Ugandan extract next year. Gold Rum will mature in early 2028 and KCSM will be well ripened in time for Christmas 2028 baking…though I’ll prolly let that sit longer to get even richer.

I love the monthly buys, whether keeping the pound for my own use or for splitting it with extracting friends. Thank you VP for making wonderful bean varieties available at affordable prices.

What makes a holiday extract different from an everyday one? Dawn N., one of our favorite extract-making pros, calls this her Vanilla Holiday Extract because she uses it from Halloween through New Year's Eve.

She starts with Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum — already carrying notes of vanilla, oak, clove, and cinnamon — then builds on it with vanilla beans (100% Madagascar, or a 50/50 mix with Mexican for a hint of caramel), a cinnamon stick, and a smashed nutmeg.

A spoonful goes into black tea for Holiday Tea, or a dash into a Hot Toddy, and it pairs well with pumpkin, apple, cranberry, and fig dishes.
