Eh, affordable ones , please... >> Here in the U.S., Trader Joe's carries agave syrup. I still haven't tried it. But all the liquid sweeteners that are not made from GMO corn are fairly expensive. For baking, I like to use molasses. It's also good in a hot drink, but molasses may be an acquired taste. I've been using date sugar (I assume made only from dates) in baking, I bought it ages ago and recently rediscovered it. I'd guess it's more reasonably priced than date syrup, since I assume it's less "processed" and less likely to spoil. If your local store carries frozen juices, that's another option. You can scoop out a teaspoonful at a time to use as a sweetener. Jams and jellies are another idea, though they may not dissolve completely in hot water. “We now know that a neo-conservative is an arsonist who sets the house on fire and six years later boasts that no one can put it out.†- Bill Moyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
