NON ALCOHOL SUBSTITUTES...from Marlen

I came across this list and thought it might be useful.




Non Alcohol Substitutes




KIRSCH: Syrup or juice from black cherries, raspberries, boysenberries, currants, grapes or cherry cider.




COGNAC: Juice from peaches, apricots or pears.




COINTREAU: Orange juice, or frozen orange juice concentrate.




CREME DE MENTHE: Spearmint extract or oil of spearmint diluted with a little water or grapefruit juice.




RED BURGUNDY: Grape juice




WHITE BURGUNDY: White grape juice




CHAMPAGNE: Ginger Ale




CLARET: Grape or currant juice, or syrup from cherry cider.




FLAMBE'S OR FLAMING DESSERTS: The only substitute that might be used is a sugar cube soaded in lemon extract, then set atop a dessert and burned.




BEER OR ALE: Chicken broth, white grape juice, or ginger ale




BRANDY: Apple cider, peach or apricot syrup.




RUM: Pineapple juice or syrup flavored with almond extract.




SHERRY: Orange or pineapple juice.




RED WINE: (unsweet) water, beef broth, boullion or consome, tomato juice (plain or diluted), diluted cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar,


liquid drained from mushrooms.




WHITE WINE: (unsweet) water, chicken broth, boullion or consome, ginger ale, white grape juice, diluted cider vinegar or white wine


vinegar, liquid from canned mushrooms.




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
