Substituting Splenda for honey?

AJCali · 04-24-2003, 07:57 PM

What is the ratio for subsituting Splenda in recipes that call for honey? I have a great curry-cajun chicken recipe that includes honey, and I've been missing it.

I used to serve it over a bed of rice, I guess I'll need to come up with a substitution for that too... any suggestions?

Rather than try to use splenda have you thought about agave syrup? It has more of a honey consistency and will sweeten it. You can find agave syrup at Whole Foods and most health food stores.

Thanks for the suggestion, Divechimes! I can't wait to try this out.

Here is a site with guidelines for substituting honey for sugar...would probably help with the reverse, substituting Splenda (sugar) for honey... ;-)

PS: There is an excellent 0 carb honey substitute...Steels Maltitol Honey, and you could try Splenda mixed in 0 carb glycerine for a similar texture.
