Post By meggieliz8 (Guest Post) (10/02/2008) I found this on Yahoo answers:
"I have a book called Substituting Ingredients by Becky Sue Epstein and Hilary Dole Klein. In that book they say that a good substitution for sherry is either an equal amount of Madeira or Port.
Another book I have called Food FAQs by Linda Resnik and Dee Brock says that you can use Madeira, Marsala, Port and Sherry interchangeably in equal amounts in a recipe. It also says that for a recipe that calls for 2 tablespoons of a heavy wine (one of those four listed above), you can substitute 1/2 cup dry red or white wine.
From http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/alcoholsubs... - a non-alcoholic substitution for sherry would be:
2 tablespoons sherry, substitute the following:
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 2 tablespoons orange or Pineapple Juice.
To substitute sherry in a marinade: for 1/2 cup sherry use 1/4 cup vinegar + 1 tablespoon sugar + 1/4 water OR
1 tablespoon vinegar, plus chicken stock or water to make 1/2 cup.
If you want general substitutions (not measured substitutions) for sherry, you can try: Apple cider; non-alcoholic vanilla extract; coffee; or coffee syrup."

What are three substitutes for Dry Sack?
Any good DRY sherry wil do. Just don't use cooking sherry . If it's not good enough to drink , you will not get a good result in your recipe . Ask for a dry sherry at the liquor store , but don't mention it's for cooking. I'm sorry I can't recommend any brand names , but I usually only cook with burgundy or sauterne .
What can you substitute for cooking sherry?
Cooking sherry is low-quality sherry with salt added. There is no reason to buy cooking sherry. Purchase any inexpensive sherry and this will give you better control over the sodium content of your food. For a non alcoholic substitute try a mixture of vinegar, sugar and a dash of lemon juice OR a mixture of apple, cranberry and grape juice. Orange or pineapple juice can also be used.
Are sherry and cooking sherry different?
Well, its cheap sherry that you would consider not quite good enough for drinking, or any sherry that has been open to the air for long enough to alter its flavour slightly (say a few weeks) but you don't want to just throw it away.
Can dry sherry substitute for dry white wine?
In a pinch you can usually make this substitution in a recipe while only slightly negatively impacting the quality of the dish. It's better than leaving the sherry out altogether. Things labeled "cooking wine" are generally the lowest quality sherry with some salt and possibly other seasonings added. So you may want to adjust the salt called for in the recipe to account for the fact that you're adding salt with the cooking wine. Real dry sherry is generally quite inexpensive and might even be cheaper ounce for ounce than supermarket cooking wine. So why not have some on hand?
You are cooking for recovering alcoholics and the recipe calls for dry sherry and you are more then doubling the recipe you have what other liquid would go in spicy cashew chicked?
When cooking with something like sherry, you need not worry about a recovering alcoholic eating food that has sherry in it. Cooking removes any significant alcohol in the food dish, and for all intents and purposes, only adds a good flavor. I would not worry about substituting another ingredient for the sherry. Use the sherry.
Can cream sherry be used in a marinade?
Dry sherries (Madeira, Sack, etc.) are very commonly used in cooking. I have never heard of cream sherry being used in cooking, though it would make sense for some types of dessert recipes.
Does cooking sherry need to be refrigerated?
No, there's no need to keep cooking sherry in the refrigerator. It's fine to store it at room temperature.
