SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was very good. I didn't have any sherry, so I subbed in apple juice. Worked great. Delicious!
Thanks! I can't wait to try this recipe...
For main-dish recipes you can also sub an equal amount of ginger ale.
I did a quick google and found this:
"Sherry or Bourbon - Orange or pineapple juices, peach syrup, or non-alcoholic vanilla extract. (Substitute equal amount of liquid 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.)"
this sounds great but is there anything I can sub for the sherry?
This was very good. I intended to put garlic in it but forgot and it still turned out fine. It wasn't as spicy as things I usually make. For my DH if it's very spicy it increasing the likelihood that he'll eat it. He did say this is a "keeper" and he wants me to make it again sometime.
