Recipe Note

Homemade vanilla takes months to develop, but if you have an Instant Pot® you can make vanilla extract even faster! You don't have to get expensive vodka, because the star is the vanilla beans! Make sure you use quality vanilla beans--and yes, the type of vanilla beans does matter. I bought my vanilla beans from the Savory Spice Shop®.
