sweeteners?

[Guest guest]

Anybody have any recommendations for sweeteners (for baking and such) in

lieu of honey and maple syrup? i am not particularly fond of either.

Have you thought of trying fruits or fruit juices?

Juicy Juice makes canned concentrated juices without refined sugar; 100% juice.

The apple concentrate adds sweetness to recipes without too much fruit flavor;

the cherry and other flavors are good in smoothies. Lemonade is good made with

apple juice, avoiding the white sugar. Brown sugar is just white sugar with

added molasses, but it is possible to get crystalized cane juice or turbinado

sugar.

Blackstrap molasses contains a ton of beneficial trace

minerals (compared to other sweeteners, at least), but

it has a very strong flavor. It's good for some

things like certain types of whole grain

waffle/pancake batters and for some types of muffins

and breads, but I probably wouldn't put it in tea or

on top of fruit.

 

Light corn syrup makes a great substitute for honey or

maple syrup. It has a similar consistency to honey,

but has no real taste except sweet. Of course, there

is no nutritional value, and the standard kind you get

in the store is probably made from GMO corn. But if

the GMO issue concerns you, you can get organic corn

syrup on-line or in health food stores. There is also

a dark corn syrup that has a mild molasses flavor.
