De Nola (1529) generally suggests (sour) orange juice as an
alternative to verjuice, though in a few places he calls for lemon
juice or white vinegar, and in one recipe he says, "blend the sauce
with some sour stuff such as verjuice or white vinegar which has been
watered down or mixed with wine, so that it does not remain very strong,
or with orange juice".
