Thanks for the input. That is what I was thinking as well. As Muslims, we are not supposed to buy alcohol either, but my parents are Catholic and like Brandy. ;) I should be able to get some from them. Normally I wouldn’t look for a way around the rules since I chose to accept them, but sometimes you just have to be creative, especially when blending cultures and families. For the sauce I was going to look into an artificial flavoring. I know they have one for rum. Not sure about Brandy. Or I will leave it out. Either way, I am excited to try this again this year!
