I'm a sucker for homemade...everything, and a hater of waste. While I haven't done the tomato ketchup home variety, I've sugar-preserved blood oranges, made citrus salts and vanilla extract. Recently, I added vanilla powder to the list, by accident. An attempt to plump up my beans in the microwave resulted in crisp pods....which crumbled in my hands. Moments later, all blitzed up, I had vanilla powder. It is easy to make it and is far cheaper than buying......so go ahead, give it a try, especially if you tire of putting yet another empty pod in sugar!
