brown sugar

hey folks.
I've seen brown sugar substitute in recipes. I went to the store, and all I can see is the Brown Sugar w/ Splenda, and that was 2 g of sugar for 1/2 tsp.

Is there a better alternative?  Where can I get it?

That is the only sub that I have seen for it... but when you use it if a recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of it... you only use 1/8 of a cup... so a little goes a long way...

I don't know - I haven't looked to hard....but I know it is a "brown sugar blend" from splenda, hence the sugar gms.  good luck

Sweet and Low also puts out their version of brown sugar

The best brown sugar out there is called DiabetiSweet.   Gotta get it on the internet and it is not cheap but it lasts a long time so that works out.   It has no glycemic index, is granular so you can cook and bake with it and has no aftertastes etc.   I make candied sweet potatoes with it and you'd never know it is not pure sugar.

Thanks Jackie! I found this online today and was wondering how it was! Off to buy some now!

I use the Splenda Brown sugar if it calls for 1/4 cup I cut it to 2 tbsp then use unsweetened organic or my homemade applesause. Gene has never had a problem with any of the splenda products when I bake as long as I cut it in half a couple times then use applesauce or crushed pineapple in the recipe. Crushed pineapple I do the same thing it's either organic unsweetened or I make my own crushed pineapple to use.
