Question from P.Wicks
Have you heard of a fruit sweetener called Fruit Sweet? It is made from pear, apple and pineapple juices boiled down into a syrup and used in baking. I found it at a place called Wax Orchards on Vashon Island in WA state. I can’t use any of the sweeteners without some problems but this one seems to be fine for me. The ratio is 2/3 to 1 cup of sugar and reduce the liquids by 1/3. So far all the sweet yummy things I have made have been wonderful.They also have fruit sweetened chocolate fudge sauces made from this syrup that are to die for. I also bought a cookbook written by Mani Niall, who has a bakery in CA, that uses Fruit Sweet in his baking. So far all the recipes I have tried have been terrific. At last my sweet tooth has been satisfied and my blood sugar is enjoying a nice rest!!!
In the sugar section you said you had used fruit sweet by wax orchards and were going to try it again, but isn’t that just fructose which is supposidly not healthy for you?
Debra’s Answer
I have heard of Fruit Sweet and was using it some years ago. Then I wasn’t able to find it.
I agree with you, it does work well. I need to add it to my list.
