I have also bought some Dextrose which David Gillespie uses in his recipes but haven't tried it as yet. I don't bake much so rarely have the need to use a sweetener. However I did make strawberry and chia jam this morning and did add a little stevia but you don't need it if you have very sweet strawberries. I was going to make sugar free scones this afternoon but forgot to buy cream so will do that tomorrow. I think I must have scribbled the recipe down from the DTE forum. I should have tried your recipe before I started mixing up the dry ingredients. I will do a blog post about them if they turn out. You never know with my cooking ;-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440656540869538185.post-62772947398622190212015-07-01T22:52:26.992-07:002015-07-01T22:52:26.992-07:00They are very light Jayne.

My mum won first prize in the country shows last year for her Lauke scones. She was even selected to enter them in the Adelaide show.

Sugar can be replaced with honey and rice malt syrup so this is what I use. Jam can be made using honey for a sweetener. I resource honey from organic happy bees so it is healthy. I have a feeling that a sugar free diet doesn't include honey, but it has so many health benefits especially if it is organic. I am eating mostly vegan and they don't eat honey, but I do. I am not as strict as most vegans, but I know my health has improved ten fold since I stopped consuming meat. <br /><br />Good luck with your strawberry jam. What do you use as a sweetner?<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440656540869538185.post-14631385196144418982015-06-30T03:21:42.033-07:002015-06-30T03:21:42.033-07:00They look yummy, Tania.
