Hi Sean,

SD> I don't use any extracts.

SD> I know you are not a religious man but the reason why I don't (save
SD> for my straying while in the Army) is due to the Word of Wisdom.  Not
SD> cooking with alcohol avoids the appearence of impropriety.

SD> (NOTE: I am posting this in here as an explanation and am not trying
SD> to start a religious discussion.  God forbid I piss someone off
SD> again.)

SD> I asked Copilot for a quick summary of the Word of Wisdom:

SD> ===
SD> Latter-day Saints (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
SD> Saints) abstain from alcohol primarily due to a health and spiritual
SD> guideline called the **Word of Wisdom**, which was revealed to church
SD> founder Joseph Smith in 1833 and is recorded in the Doctrine and
SD> Covenants (D&C 89).

Thanks for the explanation. Our older daughter lives in South Jordan,
UT, just outside of SLC. We've noticed a lot of coffee type shops while
out there; IIRC, last time we were out there she said something about
the LDS having a non coffee type drink that is similar.

DD> My granny was pretty much a teetotaler. But she kept a jug of DD>
Chriswtian Brothers Brandy in her pantry for making holiday stuff. DD>
Especially the sauce sfor her mas puddings.

SD> That I can understand.  Technically, I cannot have any alcohol in any
SD> form due to my health also.

SD> Something for the upcoming holidays.  It's a bit carb-heavy with three
SD> cups of sugar but you could work around that.

Try subbing Stevia for Baking for half the sugar. It measures just like
sugar but is much lower in carbs. I tried using the full amount when I
first started experimenting with it but found that the end product had a
bitter taste to it. Using half SfB and half sugar doesn't give that
taste and the carb count is much lower.
