satisfy our sweet tooth there are
some rules to follow:
l. When corn syrup is used re-
duce liquids in recipe by one-fourth.
2. In mullins, plain cakes and
drop cookies, corn syrup may be
substituted measure for measure for
sugar and the liquid in the recipe
reduced by one-third.
3. You use Is cups of maple su-
gar for each cup of cane or beet
sugar.
A. Honey can replace half of the
sugar in jellies, jams and preserves.
5. Corn syrup can be used in bev-
erages, puddings, custards and sauc-
es but you must use twice as much
to get an equally sweet product as
when using sugar.
Don't lean too heavily on these
sources of sugar, for manufacturers
of these products are rationed too
The whole idea is to sweeten but go
sparingly. A sugar shortage need
be no catastrophe. We did it before
and we can do it again. In a short
time We'll be used to it and be MAX
ing a contribution to our country
as well as improving our own health.
