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
