Research even shows connections to infertility, abnormally high weight gain, anger and even death. It's very difficult to escape corn syrup as it is added to almost everything these days, even deli meats and prepared meats.
One extremely easy way to replace it in your own recipes is using a simple sugar syrup. All you do is gently warm granulated sugar and water on the stove. The more sugar used, the thicker the syrup will be. If you raise the temperature you will make caramel. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before boiling so that it does not crystallize.
Another very healthy substitute as I described last week is honey.
It definitely works for my taste buds and my health. For more participants, visit Rocks In My Dryer.

ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful illustration of how tempting evil is when in fact it may look good but when it touches the tonque...in truth it's bitter.

ReplyDeleteI only use corn syrup in Special K bars...a fav of everyone in my family. I start with it and add more sugar than peanut butter. How do you think it would be to get rid of the corn syrup?
ReplyDeleteAmber
Love: If you get rid of the corn syrup, it will taste even better. You can use a simple sugar syrup, you can flavor your syrup too if you like, or you can use honey. Honey bars taste really good! Depending on your recipe, you can also replace corn syrup with all or part maple syrup or molasses. They have a very strong flavor, so you might need to only do part with these, using sugar syrup for the rest of the quantity needed. Don't forget that you can use brown sugar too.
ReplyDeleteTry it. I know you will love it even more.
That's a swell idea!! Never thought it would work...easy substitue coz we don't get corn syrup her! love going through your posts. Congrats on the banana awards...Enjoy them my dear!!
ReplyDeletePassionate Baker: Thank you. How lucky you are that you do not have corn syrup in your country. Sugar syrup is what people have always used in the past. Worked for hundreds of years. It's only recently that they have been monkeying with our foods.
ReplyDeleteI liked you blog. Very interesting! It's good to "meet" you and I'm sure we'll see more of each other. :-)
