A gift always gets extra points if it's homemade. Start now and you can have vanilla extract on hand, ready to bestow on lucky bakers in December.

I buy miniature bottles of bourbon, tuck a split vanilla bean inside, and tuck it away in the cabinet for a few months. This makes an extract with intriguing layers of flavor.
