Ways to Decrease Sugar
Ways to Decrease Sugar
? Try using 1/4 to 1/3 less sugar in baked goods and desserts.* For example, if a fruit pie recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, use 2/3 or 3/4 cup sugar. This works best with quick breads, cookies, pie fillings, custard, puddings and fruit crisps. It may not work for some cakes. Do not decrease the small amount of sugar in plain yeast breads because it provides food for the yeast and helps the bread rise.
? You do not have to add sugar when canning or freezing fruits or you can buy unsweetened frozen fruit or fruit canned in its own juice or water.
? Increase the amount of cinnamon or vanilla in a recipe to make it seem sweeter, Do not do this if sugar in the recipe has already been reduced.
