Pretty sure I've seen it in the baking aisle of Tesco lately. I know I've seen Dr Oetker branded vanilla sugar in other countries, Dr Oetker stuff is available in Supervalu (and probably the other big supermarkets)

Just buy a whole vanilla pod and put it in an air tight sugar jar with caster sugar. After a week or two the sugar picks up the fragrance and taste.

Never seen it on sale in ireland.

Why waste a whole one? They're pricey enough as it is, Just pop in the leftover pod casing after you've used the seeds inside

I had a look in my local Tesco today and they had none sorry! Hope you find it! Might be worth trying one of the Eastern European shops too but as you say, easy and much cheaper to make your own

If you have a Eastern European shop near you they'll almost definitely have it, in a multipack of little sachets



Also great for cake flour & fresh yeast!

They've vanilla pods quite cheap in Tiger stores, like 2 or 3 euro for a couple, if I remember right?
Saw them yesterday in the Tiger in the GPO Arcade.

I see it in dunnes regularly, both leopardstown and cornelscourt. I think "Jann's" is the brand, comes in a clear plastic jar with a white label on it.

Fallon & Byrne have some it is of course a bit pricy

They're doing a special on Vanilla Sugar and another flavour sugar in Aldi this week. Not sure if it's still on but theck their website just in case you waste a trip.
