Scented Sugars
Scented sugar adds a subtle perfume and flavor to coffee, fruit desserts, and baked goods. Layer granulated sugar with aromatic edibles like scented geranium leaves, rose petals, orange and lemon peel (first set out for a day to dry), or vanilla beans. Mix small batches, and let them sit for a few days in tightly sealed jars while the scents infuse the sugar. One jar or a trio serves makes an unusual present for whomever you think could use a little sweetness.

Well I just love both of your blogs, so I had to come by here too! Just last week I decided to make my own vanilla sugar...I had read that it is "done" after about 2 weeks, so I can't wait to try. One tip I came across, said to shake the container once everyday inorder to keep the sugar from clumping due to moisture from the vanilla bean, and I think it's a good idea :) Can't wait to see what you have over here at Christmas time (yes, I'm one of those Christmas fanatics)!!
