I basically use the same recipe but add liquid starch to mine as I want mine to be very stiff or stiffer than the regular recipe makes it. I make it by the gallon too and it keeps nicely. Wouldn't use the starch if you live in the southern states though as palmetto and coach roach bugs love starch as well as glue for those that use Elmer's Glue in your sewing room.

You could use the bourbon to make lots and lots of bourbon sauce for bread puddings (or figgy puddings). Put it in some pretty little canning jars and give it as presents. The gin you can put on cosmetic pads to use as a toner... works wonders for English women, no reason it wouldn't for us. The Scotch you could add to stews, etc, for extra flavor - or use to preserve fruit (there are recipes online).

I no longer use 'Best Pressed'. Now I use Niagara Spray Starch in a non-aerosol pump bottle, it costs about $1.85 at Walmart and is every bit as good as the other. My friends bring it to me from the U.S. as I can't find it here. In Canada it is common to pay over $12.00 for Best Pressed and that is just plain too much money IMHO.
