WHITE WINE:

NOTE*** To cut sweetness of the syrups, dilute with water. Also use flavor extracts for interesting flavors.



When alcohol is used in a recipe, it is generally used for one of two reasons; as a flavor enhancer in cooking, or as a meat tenderizer in marinades. A variety of other foods do have the same properties as alcohol in cooking and marinating and can be easily substituted in any recipe. Here are a few suggestions:

MARINADES:

Substitute for 1 cup of alcohol with:

1 cup of citrus juice, Lemonade, Pineapple or Orange Juice.

1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice or orange juice.

1 cup of tomato juice diluted by 1/4 with water or vinegar.

1/2 cup of light soy sauce and 1/2 cup of citrus juice.

1/2 cup of light soy sauce and 2 TBLS of oil.

1 cup of teriyaki sauce

1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar



FOR COOKING:

Non-alcoholic cooking sherry

Non-alcoholic cooking wine

Raspberry extract (instead of Brandy)

Or you can burn the alcohol out of the liquor by heating the liquor in a pan and carefully lighting a match
