Steps:

• Add the sugar to a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Slice the vanilla bean length-wise, piercing only the top layer of the skin. Press the back of the knife against the bean and up lengthwise, squeezing the oily, miniscule black seeds out.
• Add the seeds and the bean to the sugar. Place the lid on the container and shake it up.
• Store for a week, until the vanilla infuses the sugar. Use in place of regular sugar wherever you desire.
• Whenever you use a vanilla bean in a recipe, just add the seeded or discarded bean to the sugar.
