<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, Sorryb for the delay but things have been hectic on my end with 2 young ones plus out of town guests trickling in for the holidays...but here goes: GF VANILLA EXTRACTS - 1) Many said McCormick's was GF and this had been recently confirmed some listmembers calling the company. 2) Kroger recently said their extracts are GF but they won't send out a list. 3) Pure Vanilla Extract - Nielsen-Massey Vanillas Inc. Waukegan, IL 60085-8037. This was found at a Williams-Sonoma as well as a local kitchen specialty shop. The alcohol is from corn and an 8oz bottle cost $11 one year ago but it lasts a long time. 4) Durkee Imitation Vanilla is GF 5) Ener-G has a wonderful vanilla powder that's GF. it's #4657 on the order blank. Their phone nbr is 1 800 331-5222. It costs $8.32 but lasts a long time. 6) Cook's Vanilla is GF. A listmember called 1 800-735-0545 6 weeks ago and got phone and written documentation. The company also has a couple other unusual extracts/flavorings that are GF. 7) Frontier - a glycerin based vanilla extract marked GF on the bottle. Very hard to find due to low demand and short shelf life. 8) Trader Joe's Cookbook Vanilla is GF RECIPES TO MAKE YOUR OWN GF VANILLA EXTRACT: 1) Vanilla beans broken in half submerged in sugar tightly sealed and left in a warm place for a couple weeks. This makes wonderful vanilla sugar which can be used in recipes or coffee/tea. Use one bean per 2 lbs sugar. 2) To make own extract, heat on low 1/2 cup GF brandy with one vanilla bean browken into 2-3 pieces for 5 minutes. Let set aside until cool. Pour into jar, cover and leave in fridge for 2 weeks. USE LOW HEAT OR BRANDY WILL SET ON FIRE!!! This will keep for a couple months in the fridge. 3) Use 1 bottle GF vodka (size is 1/5). Put 2 vanilla beans into the bottle, close the cap and let sit for one month to develop flavor. Use measure for measure as store bought vanilla. Could also split beans for quicker flavor. GF FROSTINGS 1)Duncan Hine's Homestyle Frosting is GF 2) Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Frosting is thought to be GF, not confirmed since 1996. 3) Make own GF butter cream frosting found in cookbooks or on the back of C&H powdered sugar packaging. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CONFIRM THAT A PRODUCT IS GF BEFORE USING IT! Thanks to all who took the time for this information. Happy baking and Happy HOlidays to you all, Robin in CO, USA
