Is this like that expensive vanilla paste you can buy? Love that stuff!

Ooh I love vanilla..

Now let me make sure I read this right, you use the pods in this recipe? And the seeds in the spice mix for pumpkin?

Sounds more like the syrup we used to use in our deli to make vanilla malted milkshakes. Similar to Cottees chocolate & strawberry topping.

Sounds like the seeds are used to me - but why not do the seeds with the pumpkin and pods here - it is filtered!!!

I wasn't sure if it was lost in translation or not... I guess I can always try it both ways (oh no, too much vanilla syrup! Like there is such a thing)

I think we leave out the vanilla pods, just the scraped seeds go in.

The vanilla pods can be put in a jar with vodka in a dark pantry, shaken once a week and in three months you'd have vanilla extract
