I made these yesterday. I’m doing several plates to give away. I’m going to do cutout cookies today. I did 3 kinds of bon bons. Coconut, Peanut butter and oreo truffles. They all look the same but did about 150.

May I ask the benefit of ale or cola ? very curious please??

There is a bit of acid in soda that should help with tenderness. It also adds a nice flavor. Some BBQ recipes call for Dr. Pepper!

The lady who taught me to cook Italian, would have smacked my fingers with ruler if I even suggested such a thing as coke in the sauce. Come to think of it, had she ever known I used Tomato Sauce and Paste that I didn't make from my own tomatoes, she would have smacked my fingers with a ruler...

That said, when I prepare a country ham, I go through a lot of ginger ale. Three days before cooking it (4 before serving it), I soak it in ginger ale, changing out the ginger ale every day, then I bring it to a boil in ginger ale and simmer it until it's ready (tender and cooked through). Then I cool it, the next day I'll prep it with the glaze and bake it to a finish.
