IS THERE ALCOHOL IN VANILLA EXTRACT RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine first four ingredients in large bowl.
• Add maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla.
• Use your hands to make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Almond extract can be subbed for non-alcohol version... add water to equal liquid amount. You can also try non-alcohol rum flavoring.
• Form balls by scooping a tablespoon size amount of mixture.
• Roll in hands to form balls.
• Place balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hrs. Tip: After all balls are made, roll balls again with slightly water damped hands. This will make balls smooth before dipping in chocolate.
• Melt chocolate bark in a double boiler or microwave per directions on package.
• Dip frozen balls into chocolate.
• Then place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
• Optional: Sprinkle a few grains of coarse sea salt on balls before the chocolate sets.
• These freeze well. Take out of the freezer and let sit for 15 minutes. They are also good frozen!

Steps:

• Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a wide saucepan. Stir in the water and orange juice; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking until thickened. Stir in the cherries and orange zest, return to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. While the cherries are cooking, spoon the ice cream into serving bowls.
• Remove the cherries from the heat, and stir in the cherry extract. Pour in the brandy, and ignite with a long lighter. Gently shake the pan until the blue flame has extinguished itself. Spoon the cherries over the bowls of ice cream.
