Hello.....
The other day I found Vanilla Pure Extract in a Mexican Grocery Store, no sugar.
Brand name:BADIA
Ingredients: Water, Alcohol, Extractives of Vanilla Beans
The label says: Badia Spices, Inc.
                      P.O. Box 226497
                      Miami, FL 33172-6497
2 fl. oz. (59mL)

It was $2.19

The Tones Pure Vanilla extract is also unsweertened and has the same ingredients as the Badia. I can't remember if I got it at Sam's or Wal-Mart. Probably Sam's

I find mine at Safeway.

Wauquin,
Keep that extract on hand for next spring. Pure vanilla extract is a wonderful bug repellent when applied to the skin. Just takes a little. Apply in areas you would apply perfume

I just read the recipe for an orange vanilla smoothie and it had vanilla. I have never found vanilla without sugar added. Thank you for your post on your grocery find. I plan on trying the smoothie with my new vanilla.

I didn't know that vanilla had sugar added.  I'm going to have to check that!  Thanks for the heads up.

It was news to me.  I looked on both bottles, and one has corn syrup, and one has sugar.  What a surprise!!!  Thanks, JF

I just checked mine and they don't have sugar or corn syrup in them.  I had some root beer flavoring that had corn syrup in it so I tossed it.  Haven't used it lately and probably wasn't going to anyway.

I'm not tossing mine.  It is the last ingredient.  I've had the bottles a long time.  I'll have to get a new one without sugar.  I don't use vanilla that much.  I used to make a lot of sweets so used it then.  I use it in my coconut pudding, but it wasn't enough to start any cravings.  It is so cold here---school was out because of snow--slick roads.  JF

On my bottle of Tones, it has corn syrup..but Heavenly Homemakers has 100% pure vanilla..check her wedsite..and she even tells you how to make it for your self...

Nana can you give us the link to Heavenly Homemakers...I may like to make my own Vanilla, also Mayo, ketchup and Barbecue sauce. 

Thanks

The differences may be between Vanilla flavoring and extract.
I prefer the extract.
It is always more concentrated flavor than the flavoring.
