I do not understand why you would have to sweeten honey candy at all, with anything. Couldn't you use
just pure honey?

[@spicecandies]

Awesome question. The answer is yes and no. If you have a 600k Euro lyophilizer you can. If you have a regular kitchen as I do, you can't. Middle way answer: honey's main sugar is fructose. You can make some fructose-honey candies, in theory.

@@spicecandies Wow. Science is so interesting. All things I did not know. Thank you 😊

[@spicecandies]

@@SD-xs3py Agreed.. Science ( chemistry in this case) is amazing.... I have a lyophilizer at work and I do use it - it's a very complex tool that does two seemingly simple action: freeze and vacuum. :)

O. M. G. You used honey, but think this is sugar free? Honey is 17% water, about 3% other ingredients and 80% sugar, with about half being glucose and half fructose, with small amounts of sucrose, maltose and dextrose. So these are by no means "safe for diabetics".

[@spicecandies]

Good point but: a. It says honey on the box so the user knows the contents and can prepare. B. the sugar in honey is fructose - half as bad as sucrose. Metabolizes faster.
But yes, you are right - a d this is the only exception for this candy series. You can do without the honey candy. :)

@@spicecandies Sucrose is a disaccharide consisting of one glucose and one fructose bonded together, and that bond is split apart by the sucrase enzyme in the small intestine (though that breakdown actually starts in your mouth as your saliva contains sucrase too).
Glucose is the body's fuel source, and it's absorbed into your bloodstream very quickly when it enters your small intestine. Glucose IS blood sugar.
Fructose is converted into glucose by your liver, so it raises blood sugar very slowly, but lasts longer.
So if you use 100 grams of honey, you're using about 40g of glucose and 40g of fructose which is the same as having used 80 g of sucrose, but without that added step of it having to be be split apart. There are health benefits to eating honey, but it's not from the sugars in it.
Please don't market these candies as safe for diabetics. They're not.
