LeRuth's Vanilla

Meet a Louisiana tradition: Le Ruth's Vanilla. Since 1966, this extract has been made by Le Ruth's famous New Orleans restaurant. This two-fold vanilla is aged for over a year after bottled for rich, full flavor. So many Louisiana cooks can recall a bottle of LeRuth's in their spice cabinet. A little history... Warren Leruth grew up in the 1920's and learned to love cooking from his mother, Estelle Leruth, an incredible baker. She taught him discipline in the kitchen and precision in the art of baking. He followed this discipline in his own restaurant which made Le Ruth's a special-occasion destination for New Orleanians and one of the best overall dining experiences in the country. 8 oz bottle.  SUGGESTED RECIPES: Red Velvet Mini Trifles
