I have a few questions about this recipe...or more accurately about what

vegans are eating. I have a few vegan friends and none of them eat honey or

regular sugar, both of which this recipe calls for. While I don't develop

recipes for vegans incredibly frequently, when I do, I make sure not to use

honey or sugar in the recipes. Are my friends odd, or is this recipe odd? I

know individually different vegetarians and vegans will and will not eat

different things and honey especially is a stickler with many...but I was

pretty sure the sugar was a huge " no way " because of the way it is

processed with bone char...

 

Feel free to e-mail me off list if this topic shouldn't be aired on the

list or is the makings of a flame war...I am not looking for anything like

that in terms of a debate or which way is " right " . I just would like some

professional information so I can update my recipe developing guidelines

for veganism if necessary.

 

Thanks for your input!

Perhaps you could substitute brown rice syrup instead of honey. It works

quite well as a sweetener. I don't think that all vegans are the same.

One of my friends is a pretty strict vegan, but will eat things with

honey once in awhile, but absolutely nothing with sugar, dairy, or white

flour. Different strokes for different folks. Just adapt the recipe to

suit your needs. Kendra

We use maple syrup all the time. Pure maple syrup is just the sap from the trees boiled down to 1/40 of its volume. Nothing more / nothing less. I've heard that there is a whole day's supply of potassium in just one serving.

 

I live in VT and 60% of the syrup here comes from individuals sugaring their own trees in their own back yards. They've been doing it for generations, using wood stoves to boil the syrup.
