Daily Journal Staff Writer SAN DIEGO - Superior Court Judge Gale E. Kaneshiro has a new hobby: making vanilla extract. The recipe is simple: Marinate 1 ounce of split vanilla beans in 1 cup of vodka for eight weeks. The beans, of course, are the key. Kaneshiro favors those grown in Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, India, Tahiti and Hawaii, her home state. "It's very smooth and velvety," she said of the aromatic blend.
