Crystalized vanilla paste

[VPF]

I bought an off brand of vanilla paste a couple months ago. When I went to use it today I found that the top of the bottle and crystalized over. It looks like looks like the bottom is still in paste form. What can I do to salvage it, if it is even salvagable?

Probably just vanillin crystals. I'd just stir them in.

try putting the jar in a pan of hot water for a bit, like you might with honey that's crystallized. i think that will work.
