Question About Fructose Granulated Sugar
Decorating By mittmitt Updated 23 Jul 2006 , 6:02pm by mittmitt
Fructose can be used in place of regular sugar in cooking and baking but not in icings. You will need the regular sugar we use in icing for structure balance.
Here's a link that explains about fructose is sweeter than sugar per teaspoon, so you end up using less.
Here's a link that explains what fructose is and it's benefits. It also gives the ratio of fructose per cup of sugar.

yeah what tm said, well I didnt know about the icing thing
. I grew up 'weird by normal standards' in that we didnt eat any white sugar at all. Any sweetening we did when baking when we didnt use honey, we used grape sugar
as for the icing thing, I actually have used grape sugar for icing before and it worekd out fine. Course I'm not a professional cake baker, but from my amateur point of view, the icing spread on fine and what not lol. But yeah it is sweeter, just google or Joy of Cooking used to have a huge section on different kinds of sugars too.

Thanks for the replies, and thank you tmriga for the link. I went there and read what they had to say about fructose, apparently diabetics can use it in place of regular sugar. Since my dad is a diabetic and insists on his sugar, I am going to give it to him, thanks again.
