Snip the Vanilla Beans into 1 inch pieces with scissors

Place the sugar and vanilla beans into a food processor, and process for 1 minute cycles 2 - 3 times.

Here is how it looks .There will still be some of the husk pieces left.

Sift the vanilla sugar to get the large chunks out.

Here is our nice vanilla sugar ready to use. It does get better in time as it sits but you can use it right away.

Don't throw these away. You can dry them and grind them for vanilla powder.

I am drying these in a pie pan in an oven that I just warm and then turn off and leave overnight.
