CVZ>Regards >Chris van Zyl >Progro Consultancy - Port Elizabeth - South Africa Hi Chris, Reduce other liquid ingredients, and lower cooking temps, with these two hints I have not found 'any' recipes that pure honey can not be substituted for the sweeteners what ever they bee. Dark honey or honey that turns dark because of age and temp makes a good replacement for molasses. Even chocolate can be sweetened with honey. Nothing matches hot chocolate made with unsweetened chocolate and real orange honey. Pumpkin pie, ice cream, or beans, you name it, it all tastes as good or better when honey is the only sweetener after all sugars are just honey substitutes anyway aren't they.. ttul Andy- --- ~ QMPro 1.53 ~ HTTP://SUEBEE.COM
