Cream Sherry

[Lisa]

I hope that I did not make a mistake. I just recommeded that cream sherry is wonderful in Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup. I am very concerned and try to be very careful to recommend products that I know for certain are safe.

But then, I started thinking. I believe Taylors Cream Sherry is wine based. Now I am not certain.

Can anyone verify if Sherry is gluten free. I would hate to have someone get sick from my recommendations.

Help , it's also in my beef stew this evening.

Sherry is gluten free. I use it in fondue and my chx tettrazini.

I saw your post about it....you know I would've said something if there was any question about it .

However, I use Progresso "Creamy Mushroom" soup...I know that is gluten free. Is their "Cream of Mushroom" soup gluten free as well?

You are right..... no worries, my dear!

The can says "Creamy Mushroom", this is gluten free as you know. I think Progresso only has one creamy soup mushroom soup????

I just wanted to clarify, so that someone wouldn't think that if they had a "cream of mushroom" that it was safe (because condensed cream of mushrooms are obviously different than the Creamy Mushroom). Plus, if there was a 'condensed' one, I wanted to know

Sherry is a fortified wine. It has distilled alcohol (usually brandy) added to increase the proof level beyond the level that can be acheived solely by fermentation (roughly 13%). At that level, the alcohol kills the yeast which ends the process. Wine-based distilled spirits are added to sherry (and port). The final product is gluten free, and for those who worry about it, also free of grain alcohol.

For the record, vermouth is another fortified wine which is also gluten-free and has no grain alcohol in it.

Edited to add: "cream" Sherry simply means that it is sweet, that is, as opposed to "dry" Sherry.

Enjoy!
