Sweetening alternative

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec. Honey is the oldest sweetner known to man, and was just about the only sweetener until sugar cane was discovered. Today, many consumers use honey as a sweetening alternative to sugar as well as enjoy its unique taste. SeVenty-five to 80 per cent of honey is sugar. Even though it contains small amounts of several minerals and vitamins, honey mostly provides energy. A pound of honey has fewer calories than a pound of sugar because honey is heavier. By volume measurement honey has more calories; for example, one cup of honey has more calories than one cup sugar. A common fallacy about honey is that it can be used instead of cane and beet sugars in a sugar-restricted diet. It cannot. Honey is a form of sugar and must be avoided if no sugar is allowed. Some honey may contain organisms which can cause illness and death in infants. These organisms are found widely in nature and are not harmful unless allowed to grow and form a toxin. For some reason not yet known, the toxin can be formed in the large intestine of an infant. Since honey is not an essential food, its use for infants under one year is not recommended. Its use for older children and adults is not questioned. Honey keeps best stored in a tightly-covered container at room temperature in a dark, dry

place. Freezing or refrigeration will not harm the honey but may hasten granulation. If granules form, this does not harm honey in any way. To reliquify, place the jar in a bowl of warm water (200 degrees or less! until all crystals melt. Honey is easily scorched if overheated. Honey kept for many months may darken and become stronger in flavor but is still usable. Honey may be used in place of all or part of the sugar in canning fruit or fruit products. These products have good flavor, keeping qualities, color (often slightly darker) and consistency. However, when using all honey to replace sugar, the honey flavor may be more prominent than the fruit flavor. The best way to serve honey is Returns from Caribbean cruise Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Sally) Wise, Milford, returned Sunday, July 3, from a Caribbean cruise as a belated 25th anniversary present. The Milford couple flew from Fort Wayne to Miami, Fla., on Sunday, June 26, where they boarded the cruise ship with the island of Samana as their first scheduled stop. Mrs. Wise said Samana was her favorite spot because of the primitive way the people lived. The boat then traveled to the. more developed San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Saint Thomas Island. The Wises were married August 18,1957.

uncooked as a' spread, topping, sweetener, or sandwich Riling. Honey can also be used for all or part of the sugar in some recipes if characteristics of honey are taken into consideration. Honey scorches or burns very easily and the flavor changes with high temperature. A cake made with honey needs to be baked in a slower oven at least 25 degrees lower than a cake with sugar. Do not use a temperature higher than 375 degrees for honey cookies or more than 350 degrees for honey bread. When honey is added to sweeten a cooked food, add it last and keep the temperature low. Soviet technology available in magazines Dr. Eugene Riven, professor of engineering at Wayne State University in Michigan and who once worked in Moscow, says that United States scientific advisers are wasting billions of dollars by ignoring information about Soviet developments in easily obtained Russian magazines. Riven estimates that the Pentagon could have access to the very latest in Soviet technology for SIO,OOO a year spent on scientific journals from the Soviet Union. The Russians closely examine American publications, he says. “New Russian books are not listed in American publications, and most are not even available in the Library of Congress,” says Rivin. “The cost of acquiring the total yearly output of the major Russian engineering publishing house amounts to SI,OOO to $2,000. Surely this country could afford SIO,OOO to $15,000 a year for total Russian book acquisition.” “It’s a self-imposed handicap for the US, since other developed countries take full advantage of all available information about American technology and research achievements.” Rivin said.
