HONEY

11 is just as sweet as cane and can be used in many baked products, in puddings, , sauces and glazes. Use the same quantity of honey as it specifies for sugar in a recipe­ but the liquid must be reduced ( see recipes). Honey has a. special flavor of its own wh:i,.ch is desirable in many products.

CORN

" is only about half as sweet as cane sugar and when used in baked products, gives a less sweet product unless the amount is increased considerably. The liquid must be decreased proportion­ ately in recipes using corn syrup. For muffins or sweet hot-breads the corn syrup is added right with the milk. Corn syrup comes in light, dark and flavored. When corn syrup is used in cake frostings the result is a smooth, soft, rather sticky frosting which stays soft and moist. It will never harden or become crystal­ lized. Cookies made with corn syrup tend to become softer and less crisp on standing unless kept in a closed cookie jar.

MAPLE SUGAR

"If crystallized, maple sugar may be used just like cane sugar and in equal proportions. is used like honey. Maple sugar or syrup is not as economical to buy as corn syrup because of its scarcity.

MOLASS:WS

" comes in very dark or light varieties. It may be used in , cookies, gingerbread, or cake or to glaze a ham. For most cooking purposes half again as much molasses as cane sugar must be used to secure equal and the liquid in the recipe must be decreased proportionately • ... • ...... • •

HOW TO USE HONEY From the STAR WEEKLY of Toronto, Canada,' for December 9th, 1944, we quote in part the foll.owing article:

"With sugar rationed, honey--as a substitute--has had a renewed lease on life. Years ago, honey was popular for the table, for sweetening fruits and beverages and for use in baking, but largely because of competition from cheaper syrups -- such as those made from corn and sugar cane, the consumption of honey declined somewhat. Once more, however, honey has come into its own and honey cakes, and cookies and honey-sweetened desserts are popular.

11At the present time we are permitted to purchase 24 fluid ounces of honey with each 'preserves' coupon, and this can be used as a very useful sugar saver. Only 1/2 pound of sugar can be purchased
