Jackie says
What can you use instead of the wine
Annemarie says
I use a splash of red wine vinegar (not wine) for flavor, but you can skip it if you’d like.
Sarah says
Wow this was really good!! Thanks for the recipe!
Annemarie says
Thanks, Sarah! Glad to hear you liked it. 🙂
Ree says
How long can you store this if I make twice the amount?
Annemarie says
Ree, I always freeze what I don’t use within a few days. I’m guessing it would keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
