How To Mix Sweeteners in Honey Sugar Recipes by Esther George
Honey Sugar is often used in recipes as an alternative sweetener to sugar alone. When properly mixed into the recipe, the right texture, flavors, and appearance are achieved. Breads, cookies, and desserts all utilize the many advantages of mixing and breaking down this mixture before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Both sugar and honey contain fructose and glucose. Honey contains other micro nutrients and forms of sugars such as sucrose, maltose, and melezitose. To add a sweet flavors and a smooth texture at the same time, mix both of these sweeteners into your favorite recipe and coffee, tea, or drink. Desserts are made with this mixture as it properly solidifies and crystallizes. The honey sugar mixture can take two forms a crystalline, such as fudge and fondant, and non-crystalline, such as lollipops, taffy, and caramels. Mixtures that do not have crystals can get grainy and the consistency is undesirable. Therefore special ingredients are used to avoid this.
There are many ways to avoid the formation of crystals in sugar. Other kinds of sweeteners also prevent crystallization, so you can use them. Chefs usually use fructose and glucose to achieve this because the large crystals of sucrose have a harder time forming when molecules of fructose and glucose are in the honey sugar mixture.
Another way to break up the crystals in recipes is to add an acidic type of ingredient, such as lemon juice or cream of tartar. Both acidic ingredients and fatty oils are commonly used to help mix in sweeteners when adding them to recipes. Adding these ingredients causes the honey sugar to break down into these two components.
Also, sugar that is low in sucrose including the high fructose corn syrups that are commonly used in packaged foods that are not healthy. However, adding more of these type of processed sweeteners make your foods unhealthy. You should use these when it is absolutely necessary.
Another ingredient commonly added to recipes are fats or oils. Fatty ingredients, such as butter, give the recipes a smooth texture because they interfere with the crystallization of sweeteners. For example, toffee is very smooth texture and can be easy broken because it has butter in the mixture. When using honey sugar in recipes it is important to prevent crystals from forming into the mix. Also it is important to add a fat or an acid to break down the mixture.
