Honey Recipes

Substituting Honey and other Sweeteners
"Perhaps because it's produced by bees, people have the impression that honey is somehow healthier for you than sugar, but in terms of caloric content, honey and sugar are neck in neck. However, because honey is sweeter than sugar, people tend to use less of it. For those who want to reduce the amount of processed foods they eat, honey is a good bet -- it is processed once; sugar is processed multiple times. When substituting sugar, there is more than just weight to take into account."

Sugar, Syrup & Honey Substitutes
"Baking is one of life's pleasures. Sometimes substitutions must be made but it is important to understand how to set about making changes before you get started.

Several factors must be considered when substituting sweeteners in a recipe. Artificial sugar and liquid substitutes are available that make sweets an option for people restricted to special diet."
