I read that you can sub 1-2 teaspoons of non alcoholic vanilla for the bourbon. Sounds like a good flavor enhancer. I will try this and report back

Turned out very good. Had a little trouble getting the sauce to thicken, but will make again.

I use liners in my slow cooker so whisking anything is hard. To thicken, I pour some of the liquid from the slow cooker into a regular sauce pan and do the thickening on the stove top. It's worth the extra pan! )
