Substituting Honey for Sugar
Did you know that you can replace sugar with honey in your favourite recipes? Simply replace the sugar with ¾ the amount of honey.
If you do replace honey in your recipes be sure to cut the liquid in the recipe by ¼ as well.
NOTE: Honey will slide out of measuring cups or spoons if oil is measured first or if the utensils are pre-rinsed with hot water.
Canning and Freezing with Honey
Ontario honey can be substituted for sugar when canning fruit:
Light Syrup = 1 cup Ontario Honey + 3 cups boiling water.
Medium Syrup = 1 cup Ontario Honey + 2 cup boiling water.
To freeze fruit use either a light or medium syrup to cover fruit in a freezer container. Ensure you leave room for expansion. Tip: To keep fruit submerged in syrup, crumple waxed paper and place in the top of the container.
Jams and Jellies with Honey
Substitute Ontario honey for sugar in your favourite jam or jelly recipes. Simply cut the sugar in 1/2. For example, if a recipe calls for 4 cups sugar, use 2 cups honey. You will need to cook the jam or jelly slightly longer and you will need to use liquid or powdered pectin to help the jam set. The consistency of the jam or jelly will be somewhat thinner than when made with sugar.
