BREAKING DOWN 'Initial Public Offering-IPO'. IPOs can be a risky investment. For the individual investor, it is tough to predict what the stock will do on its initial day of trading and in the near future because there is often little historical data with which to analyze the company.
Sherry is an enriched wine, which increases its longevity. Still, once opened, the flavor quickly dissipates. An unopened bottle of sherry stored in a dark, cool place will stay fresh for 12 months. Once opened, cork the bottle tightly and store it in the refrigerator for one to three weeks, but no longer than a month.
Using Apple Cider. Apple cider is commonly used to substitute for sherry in cooking. It can be used in equal measure for the sherry called for in the recipe. If using apple cider vinegar, cut the amount to one-half of what is called for and replace the remainder with water. For every 2 tablespoons of sherry called for in a recipe, substitute 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. If alcohol is the objection, use alcohol-free extract. If your local grocery store doesnât carry the alcohol-free vanilla, try your local health food store. You can try equal measures of orange or pineapple juice.
