verjuice
« on: December 16, 2012, 12:47:11 am »
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to make Tenina's smoked salmon pancake stack with herbed hollandaise but don't have verjuice. Does anyone know of a good substitute for verjuice?
Thanks

I would hazard a guess:  white wine; a good white wine vinegar; a dry sherry . . . .

Thanks Obbie...think I may have run out of white wine too. I wonder whether watered down lemon juice will do the trick?

Note: Verjuice It is the unfermented juice of semi-ripe grapes, white wine vinegar is a suitable substitute. :) :) :)

I always have a bottle of verjuice in the fridge. Maggie herself said that it will last for ever in the fridge. If I don't have white wine opened I use verjuice. It is a bit expensive but you don't usually use much.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I've often given Verjuice as a gift but have never bought myself a bottle - funny how we do that  :-))

Verjuice has been suggested to me to use in cooking as a non-alchoholic version of white wine.  However I can't seem to find it at any supermarkets or health shops.  Looking at this post, could I use white wine vinegar instead of white wine?  And would you use the same amount? i.e. I want to try the Snapper/Trout Di Josie from the EDC which has 200g of white wine.  Wondering if 200g of white wine vinegar would give too strong taste?  Thanks for any suggestions!
If you see someone without a smile - give them one of yours   :(  ;)  :)  ;D  :D

Verjuice has a much more gentle taste than white wine vinegar. Are you able to buy a non alcoholic "white wine" in your supermarket?

4getful, I've seen Maggie Beer's verjuice at Woolworths near the veggies on the random continental shelves....

We were told at a cooking demonstration at Maggie's Kitchen a few years ago. She said it may darken but is ok for a very long time.
