  • Question
    Is there a substitution for the rum?

    Community Answer
    Substitute an equal amount of apple juice or white grape juice for the rum. These options will add sweetness and moisture but won't have the same depth of flavor as rum. In a pinch, you can substitute water or milk for the rum to provide the necessary liquid.

    It should be used within a week, but freezing is a great way to extend its shelf life.

      • If the sauce has become too thick while simmering, add about a tablespoon of water to the mixture to thin it.
