If vanilla bean is uncut, slice it down lengthwise and scrape the seeds. Add both the seeds and the whole bean pod into the sugar jar. Seal tightly and give it a shake.
Let sugar sit for at least one week.
Use as you would regular granulated sugar.
Notes
Store the vanilla bean sugar in a mason jar or other airtight container at room temperature.
You can keep refilling the sugar jar 2-3 times using the same bean pod. Shake the jar and let sit each time. Once you no longer notice vanilla bean seeds in the sugar, replace the pod.
