…… Homemade Vanilla

Part of the fun of being home and digging in the pantry is dicovering things I forgot about. Tonight's discovery was two quart jars of vanilla that I started 4 1/2 years ago.
Normally I reuse the vanilla beans.
But I think after 4 1/2 years in Everclear these are probably done in.
Opinions?
My normal secondary use is vanilla powder or ground vanilla in agave.

I reuse, but always add a few new ones. After sitting for that long, that vanilla should be fantastic. Lucky find!

I haven't even looked towards selling it. I had completely forgotten about it tucked in the cabinet. When I finish the purchased jar a friend gave me, I'll start on them. They're in Grolsch style amber bottles. Maybe some folks will get some for gifts. My SIL appreciates the homemade things.
I'm pretty sure that after that length of time though, the beans are exhausted.
