Sherry substitution?

[desertjean]

Recipes usually call 2 Tbsp. Usually I just leave it out...but is there something I could do to sub for it? I checked Cooks Thesaurus and didn't see anything.

You could use white port, white vermouth or brandy.

Chinese rice wine is very similar. If you cook Chinese food, you may have some around.

To substitute sherry wine, you can use Madeira

Yes, this is what I use. I also have used in some cases Japanese Plum wine.

I agree. I use dry vermouth for just about any recipe calling for a fortified wine.

It's not the exact same thing, but then I like the dryer flavor of vermouth.

Back when I could drink Manhattans and still stand up to make dinner, I sometimes used Sweet Vermouth.

Sherry or Madeira are important in authentic Spanish recipes, but they're still tasty with wine or vermouth.

Thanks guys! This gives me options that are much more likely to be in my bar.
