Hi guys! I'm new here! I just thought that I would begin my membership with a wonderful recipe from Bon Appetit (which I tweaked a bit) that I made the other day for a family barbeque.. it's heavenly- unlike any other cobbler i've ever had

What's vanilla sugar turbinado style?
thanks
sounds really good

[bright_bl0nde]

Turbinado sugar is raw sugar- not granulated. You can find it at specialty food stores =)

ok I looked it up, where do you get it at?

It's a brand new recipe from the August Bon Appetit with corn cobs on the cover.. I think it's still in stores!!

Process the vanilla bean with the sugar? I've never done that, but I'm curious! Does it taste much different than sugar that's set in a container with halved vanilla beans ... which is my usual method for making "vanilla sugar."

Actually, it's a lot more potent. It smells really strong, not sweet and pleasant like some vanilla sugars- and it works like a charm in really giving another depth of flavor. For the dusting, I used the turbinado (raw) sugar with the halved vanilla bean in it (basic vanilla sugar) and it tasted completely different, which surprised me!

Sounds delicious. Thank you very much for posting the recipe.

I made this yesterday and it was *really* good. I think I would add more fruit next time though, maybe another pint of blueberries. :)
