Method
- In a small pan, combine the sugar and 75ml (3 fl oz) water. Cut the empty vanilla pods into quarters and pop them in the pan. Warm over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook gently for 5-10 minutes, until thickened. (If needed, gently swirl the pan to mix, but don’t stir.) Remove from the heat.
- Add the glycerine and vanilla seeds; whisk to combine. Leave to cool, before pouring into sterilised bottles or jars. Divide the quartered vanilla pods between each and close the lids.
