Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I recently learned that apple juice concentrate is considered a refined product. What can one substitute for the concentrate when a recipe calls for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a concentrated sugar, but it's a natural sugar (when the concentrate isn't a sweetened one, of course), so I still use it. I don't know of any substitutes for it, personally.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I would think that you could make your own by reducing pressed apple cider. admartin5 wrote: I recently learned that apple juice concentrate is considered a refined product.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think technically all sweeteners are considered refined to soe exten with the exception of fresh dates. I would think it would depend on the recipe, but fresh dates are a great substitute for most sweeteners, but they get tricky in baked goods.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I found it at the local HFS, and I really like it. I sub it for sugar in all recipes (those needing sugar, that is). My mil takes turbinado sugar in her coffee, and my sis started using the date sugar in her coffee. As for it's ingredients, only dates are listed, so I am guessing it is the sugar from dried dates, plus the ground up dates. It has become a hard rock, due to Florida's high humidity Cassie Heather Hossfeld <hlh4850 wrote: What isn't refined?? I buy organic sugar that is fairly granular and pale brown in colour. I usually use that for baking when I need a dry fine sugar. A few people on here mentioned I think date sugar -- I have never even seen that but I imagine it must be available at one of the HFSs around here. Is it just dried dates powdered?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 date sugar is dehydrated and pulverized dates. it's very easy (and usually cheaper) to make at home. chandelle On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 12:19 PM, Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet wrote: > I found it at the local HFS, and I really like it.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Put rice in the sugar bag - it will absorb some of the moisture.
