HOMESTEAD HOW-TO
– Sterile jar (at least quart size) with a cover – 750 ml of vodka or rum (it doesn’t have to be fancy or name-brand) – 1-2 ounces of vanilla beans – small jars for your final product (especially if you plan to gift the vanilla)
With bold flavors and smoky heat, this salsa combines black beans with the kick of jalapeños and the freshness of tomatoes and cilantro.
If you are using vanilla bean bits, you will put these in the jar and pour your alcohol over them.

Place the lid on the jar without sealing it and let the mixture cool on the counter.
Once the mixture is cool, twist the lid tight and place it in a cool, dark space like a cabinet or pantry.
