How To Extract Flavors

Today, we are extracting flavors for use in the kitchen. Enhancing the pantry with a collection of flavor extracts for baking is easy at the grocery store, but what is in those little bottles? Who knows how the flavor in that grocery store bottle was produced. Some flavorings in the store are cheaply produced, meaning artificially flavored. We prefer natural flavorings produced by the foods they represent. Making these natural extracts is easier than running to the grocery store whenever the pantry is short on a flavor. We plan ahead so our pantry always has our favorite flavors in their most natural shelf-stable forms.
