"SWEETENERS

The amount of sweetener called for in a recipe may
be altered to suit your own taste. if you like less
sweetener, add less. A recipe can be made sweetener by
reducing the amount of flour by about 1/4-1/2 cup and
adding the same amount of granulated or powdered
sweetener. Maple syrup or other sweetener may be
substituted for honey in most recipes from other books.
Fruit concentrates may be used in place of honey or
maple syrup, in about equal proportions.
Regular fruit juice may be used as a sole sweetening
agent in some recipes, with small variations in
flavour. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups
maple syrup and 1 1/2 cups nut milk, use 3 1/2 cups of
a thick variety of peach or pear juice (other fruit
juices are not sweet or as light coloured.) There will
be a slight change in flavour. If a recipe using only
fruit juice is not sweet enough, substitute 1/2 cup or
so of one of the recipe's dry ingredients (like flour)
with the same amount of natural powdered or granulated
sweetener.
When a recipe calls for a liquid sweetener, it is
best to use maple syrup, fruit concentrate or natural
liquid sweetener for the best flavour. if any other
liquid sweeteners are used, the amount of sweetening
must be increased. Some sweeteners, like molasses or
sorghum, can greatly change the flavour of the recipe
and must be experimented with."
