Okay, you might be wondering why you’d even want to do that.
After all, can’t you go to any grocery store and snatch a bottle of vanilla extract off the shelf?
Already prepared and manufactured?
And isn’t it gluten-free?
And yes, the answer to each of those questions is likely “Yes”.
(Although you might want to call the manufacturer to see whether it’s indeed gluten-free).
So, the real issue here is Corn.
If you are sensitive to corn, or avoid it for any reason, please note that most extracts are made from alcohol.
And those alcohols are typically corn based.
When I stopped eating corn products several years ago, I was stumped by several things.
Including the fact there’s cornstarch in powdered sugar!
(I went through an entire holiday season with powdered sugar in almost every holiday treat I baked, and was totally clueless).
