Alcohol substitutes in recipes
I hope it is ok to post this here. I got in on a yahoo group I am on. I don't keep any alcohol in the house so I was always at a loss for what to do in recipes this looks to be a pretty good list.
Alcohol Substitutes

boysenberries, currants, grapes or cherry cider.

NOTE*** To cut sweetness of the syrups, dilute with water. Also use
flavor extracts for interesting flavors.
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
