how to substitute sugar with honey

The main uses of honey are in cooking, baking, as a spread on breads and as sweetener. You can substitute sugar for honey in a recipe.  

Use the same amount of honey and cut the liquid by one quarter, for example:

1 cup sugar + 1 cup milk = 1 cup honey + 3/4 cup milk

Replace sugar with three quarters of honey, for example:

1 cup sugar = 3/4 cup honey

It is recommended to store honey at room temperature and in a dry place. Always keep honey covered tightly to retain its distinct flavour and aroma, and to protect it from moisture absorption.

  1. I love local products, it’s like having home-made. I love honey, my granddad used to keep bees and his honey tasted so much better than the store bought honey. 🙂

  2. A big yet forgotten supplier of local unpasteurized honey is the Glebe Meat Market, just two blocks north of Landsdowne. The owner buys it from a friend of his and I didn’t think I liked honey all that much until I tried theirs. Most of their products are from local suppliers, they are incrediblely supportive of local businesses and farms. I used to work there until I had my baby and decided to become a stay at home mom. The Glebe Meat Market is owned by the most ethical and kind people I’ve ever worked for, please go and support them!

  3. May I also add another local farm: Veggie Trail Farm. operated By Tammy Bannon.
    Veggie Trail Farms, is a Farmers Market….
    And a Bed and Breakfast. Tel: 613-898-7778
