I've seen vanilla bean paste in the King Arthur catalog but never really knew what it was. Might have to add some to my not-quite-perfect pantry!

I did a side by side comparison lol made a batch of vanilla frosting... half with pure vanilla extract and half with vanilla bean paste. The vanilla paste was the pure winner with a smooth flavor, the extract had a bit of an alcohol bitterness. I use it for all my recipes that are not chocolate :) I love vanilla bean paste :) it makes my vanilla bean frosting soooo good!!
