I bought 1/2 pound of vanilla beans to make Christmas gifts with but I have some left over. How can I store these. Can I freeze them? What's the best option to keep these beans useable.
Tanks!!!

I made some vanilla sugar and have started the process of homemade vanilla extract. I'll tell you what though, with the way my house smells just from having the beans here, I'd almost be willing to make a toss-out wreath!!!

Vanilla beans will keep indefinitely in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. Don't refrigerate beans as this can cause them to harden and crystallize.

The site below will give you lots of info. My mother always kept hers in a paper envelope inside a glass jar in the back of her spice cupboard. I guess this website confirms she knew what she was doing! I've always stored my vanilla beans that way, just cuz Mom did!
