Rhubarb Jam & Vanilla Scented Goat Cheese Crostini
Don't throw out the vanilla bean pod when you are done with it either. Make vanilla sugar instead! Simply place the scraped vanilla bean pod in a small spice jar and fill with granulated sugar. Shake well and allow to sit for a week or so for the flavors to infuse before using. Vanilla sugar is really great sprinkled over baked goods, in a cup of coffee, or in your morning bowl of cereal.
