Today's Ingredient is...Honey! Making Jams and Jellies with Honey instead of Sugar
Found a great tip for using honey instead of refined white sugar in your jams and jellies. (Found this on the brockvillefarmersmarket.ca website - fantastic tips for local produce!)
Jams and Jellies with Honey
Honey may be substituted for sugar in most jam and jelly recipes. If a recipe calls for four cups of sugar, use two cups of honey. Cook the jam or jelly slightly longer than the time stated in recipe using sugar. When honey is used, always use a commercial liquid or powdered pectin.
The consistency of the jam or jelly will be somewhat softer.Labels: honey, jams, jellies, no white sugar
