How Do You Create Alcohol Free Marinades Using Vinegar Instead Of Wine?
Want to create flavorful marinades without the alcohol? Here’s how to use vinegar and sugar to substitute for wine when cooking. Mix 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in a measuring cup. Stir briskly and add other seasonings and herbs as desired (salt, pepper, garlic salt, basil, etc.) Pour the mix over meat or stir it into a sauce, using just it as you would a wine-based marinade. Double the ingredients, keeping proportions the same, for a larger yield (3-4 teaspoons sugar for 1 cup of vinegar). Experiment with different types of vinegar for flavor. Try rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar or herbed vinegars available in gourmet section of the grocery store.
