Vanilla Butter Syrup Recipe (Dutch Honey) (2024)

FAQs

How do you store Dutch honey? ›

Honey keeps best in a dry place at a cool temperature between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep it in a tightly covered container so it does not absorb moisture or odors from the air.

Add the honey and water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved. Allow to cool and transfer to an airtight container. Syrup will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 month.

The easiest substitution is to make a batch of simple syrup and add a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract. The flavor can be a bit strong if you use too much extract, so only add a little at a time, to taste. You'll have the best results if you use real vanilla extract, rather than imitation.

Pure traditional maple syrup is paired with real vanilla beans to create a smooth, creamy, and flavorful blast of sweet and satiating yumminess! While being a perfect breakfast alternative to traditional maple syrup, this syrup also goes great in co*cktails and is an open door for creative foodies.

No, honey does not go bad. Because honey has a low water content and high acidity, it's an unfriendly place for bacteria to thrive. As long as the lid stays on and the honey stays free of added moisture, honey can be stored in the cupboard indefinitely.

Honey has a very low water content (normally less than 18%), and a fairly high acidic level: this makes for very unfavorable conditions for bacteria to grow. If bacteria cannot grow in honey, then it cannot spoil. This basically gives it an indefinite shelf life.

This is the same reason why honey never expires; bacteria have a hard time growing in these high-sugar, low-moisture environments. But one difference between honey and syrup is that syrup can get moldy after the container's been opened. This is because it has been exposed to mold spores in the air.

Honey syrup is made of equal parts honey and water. Honey syrup can be used in recipes like simple syrup to sweeten drinks, co*cktails, and coffees.

No, even opened honey doesn't expire. Per U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, honey will remain safe to eat even after the quality of the honey declines.

While both French vanilla and vanilla syrup add a sweet vanilla flavor to beverages, they have distinct flavor profiles. French vanilla syrup is richer and creamier, while vanilla syrup is more straightforward in its vanilla flavor. They can be used interchangeably depending on the desired flavor outcome.

Can honey replace vanilla? ›

Honey. Honey adds a bright, floral sweetness to desserts. Like maple syrup, it can also enhance the texture of baked goods. Use 1 tablespoon of honey to replace 1 teaspoon (tsp) of vanilla extract.

You have plain vanilla, french vanilla and vanilla bean. They all taste like vanilla with subtle differences. The vanilla bean is a stronger flavor (just like vanilla bean ice cream has a stronger flavor). Per Torani, the French Vanilla is more custard like in flavor.

Vanilla and cinnamon are a classic combination. The resulting fragrance is warm, welcoming, and reminiscent of freshly-baked cookies. In fact, many real estate agents will recommend that homeowners put a pot of vanilla and cinnamon on the stove before inviting prospective buyers into their houses.

Vanilla is perfect for toning down the acid and bringing out the tangy sweetness in oranges, but it doesn't stop there! Try pairing your vanilla seeds, extracts, pastes, and sugars with all types of citrus—orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and even kumquats!

Keep honey in sealed container.

Glass jars with lids are also ideal for storing honey as long as the lids are on tight so the honey won't be exposed to air, while not being used. It isn't recommended to store your honey in non-food plastic containers or metal containers because they can cause honey to oxidize.

Always keep your honey in a glass, airtight container. Otherwise, the hygroscopic (water-loving) sugars in the honey will absorb moisture from the air, leading to the growth of undesirable yeasts.

The best way to preserve honey is to store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Heat and moisture can cause honey to ferment or spoil, so it's important to avoid exposing it to these conditions. It's also important to keep your honey in an airtight container.

Simply keep it in a cool location away from direct sunlight and in a tightly sealed container. It's recommended that you use the original container the honey came in, though any glass jar or food-safe plastic container will work. Avoid storing honey in metal because it can oxidize.
