Substitutes for Sugar for Canning by County Agent
Hempstead county homemakers were informed by Miss Mary Claud Meteher about sugar substitutes for canning including honey corn syrup and maple sugar. Miss Fletcher explained that some dark syrups are unsuitable for canning due to flavor impurity and refinement. Instructions by Miss Mary Loughead describe proportions and caution that substitutes carry more water and different sugar types requiring longer cooking and adjusted sweetness. Honey can replace up to half the sugar in preserves but may alter flavor texture and caloric content if used in excess.
