Sugar is a product for which there are few substitutes. Honey, corn syrup and molasses are possibilities, but they aren't necessar¬ily more economical. Honey may be used in place of sugar in many recipes, but the quantity of liquid must be reduced. Also, since baked goods made with honey brown more quickly than those made with sugar, the oven temperature should be lowered slightly. Honey has approximately the same sweetening power as sugar. Therefore one cup of honey may replace 1 cup of sugar, and the liquid should be cut by one quarter. In a plain cake recipe, honey may only be substituted for one half the sugar. But is honey really more economical? Based on last months prices in Ottawa, one cup of honey cost 66% more than a cup of white sugar. Unless you're aiming for a slightly different flavour, white sugar is still the better buy. Corn syrup may be substituted for sugar as the sweetener in sauces or beverages, but not in baked goods. Since corn syrup is only half as sweet as sugar, two cups of corn syrup would be required to replace 1 cup of white sugar. At that substitution rate, corn syrup becomes more expensive. Molasses is less expensive than sugar, but due to its strong flavour, only small quantities could be substituted for sugar in a recipe. This practically eliminates any savings. In conclusion, sugar could sometimes be replaced by honey, corn syrup or molasses. You should be aware, though, that this probably won't save you money. <1mn 27s>
