Diabetes

for quality calories!

I keep trying to have too much ginger in gingerbread. I'm still working on it. I think having a bit of both fresh and candied helps the flavor.

Much as I love baking a wide variety of Christmas cookies, now I bake for other folks and their kids, and try to get the cookies out of the house ASAP.

All the best, Peter

I just took eight cases of black berry and black raspberry jelly, both sugar "blast" and reduced sugar to our church to share. Now I am working on low glycemic jellies. I don't like the Monkfruit, comes out to waxy. Allulose has 0% added sugar but comes out a bit runny. It's not quite okay for a diabetic if I add just a bit of Organic sugar (16% sugar) or Aguave syrup (32% sugar) but OK for those watching their sugar like me.

I went back to plain white sugar after finding out my favorite stevia product was
hyped with erythrytol. It seems that artificial sweeteners are usually not all that healthy.
would love to know what to use, besides honey. I also have some date sugar I use for cooking.
I've seen agave syrup on shelf.
some of that stuff is mighty expensive vs plain old white sugar
if they have the turbinado sugar in restaurants, I'll use that, just have to stir longer in my coffee.

have my own personal rule that one teaspoon of sugar ok in first cup of coffee, but that's it.
then it only gets a little milk
