Having been raised on a sugar cane plantation in Hawaii, I sense the
same thing. If you do not understand how tasty sugar cane is, then
that high fructose corn syrup is just fine. Use real cane sugar in
your jellies and jams and it tastes so good. I do like Honey too, but
I like sugar. And, almost ....end to my rant, people who diet and
think fake sugar is just fine----- real cane sugar has 15 calories per
teaspoon and good taste. The sugar will not make you fall off the
diet.
