Food for Thought:
Honey is superior to sugar in that it has trace amounts of vitamins and minerals, is sweeter, and raises one's blood sugar more slowly. It is unrefined and natural. It also will keep your baked goods moister longer. Here's how to substitute honey for the sugar in a recipe:
1. Up to one cup, honey can be substituted for sugar in equal amounts. For example, you can substitute 1/2 cup of honey for 1/2 cup of sugar called for in a recipe. Over one cup, use about 2/3 - 3/4 cup of honey for every cup of sugar. This is because honey is actually sweeter than sugar.
2. Honey is a liquid, so you'll need to reduce the liquid in the recipe a little. Do this at a rate of 1/4 cup less liquid for every cup of honey used in the recipe.
3. Honey is also a little acidic. To counteract this, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of honey used.
4. Honey causes baked goods to brown more quickly, so reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees F and watch carefully as the time gets close.
CAUTION!!! Honey should NEVER be given to infants under the age of 18 months old due to the possible presence of small amounts of the toxin "botulin" that can be present even in cooked honey. These toxins are easily denatured by the mature digestive tract but infants do not yet have this ability.
Both sugar and honey will store virtually forever, but honey does better if it is kept from freezing, as this will cause it to separate.
