Stevia
Once aspartame was outed
for its cancer-causing
properties, people needed a
substitute. Suddenly, stevia
was the name of the game.
Stevia comes in many forms,
but one of the most popular
forms is like that of table
sugar.
This all-natural sugar
substitute can be used in
baking or straight from the
sugar bowl into your
morning coffee. Stevia
comes from the stevia plant,
which means this zero-
calorie sweetener can be
grown in your herb garden.

3. Honey
Saving the bees is a popular
movement that has many
people beekeeping in their
own backyard. While there
are many money-making
opportunities in beekeeping,
one of the great advantages
is the honey!
This naturally-sourced
sweetener tastes great, and
if you don’t want to add
beekeeping to your hobby
list, you can get it at the
grocery store.

Apples are a local treasure
simply for their delectable
flavor in their whole form.
But you can also use
applesauce as a sweetener in
baking recipes. This allows
your sweet treats to have
some healthy additions.
It could give some credence
to your argument that your
brownies are a healthy
treat. Applesauce can also
be used as a fat substitute.

The northeast is famous for
its all-natural maple syrup,
which transcends any
processed imposters on
grocery store shelves. It is
well-known as a topping for
waffles, pancakes, and
French toast.
It can also be used as a
sugar substitute in many
recipes. Maple syrup
contains many nutrients and
is a healthier alternative to
table sugar.

Licorice root extract
is a zero-calorie
sweetener and can
be purchased in
powder form. If you
don’t know licorice
flavor, it can be
strong. You either
like it, or you don’t.
This makes it a no-go for
many people, but those who
like it can add it to candies
and treats that will benefit
from a little licorice flair.

Blackberries, strawberries, and
blueberries can be found near
your own home if you live in
the northeast. This means that
you can naturally AND locally
source these fruits as a
sweetener to be added to
baking recipes, plain yogurt,
and cereal.
Add it to water to add a
flavor infusion or grind it up
and make jam for your
toast. There are many
possibilities when you are
using berries to sweeten
your meal.

Raisins aren’t just for oatmeal
cookies. These tasty little
morsels can be added to many
savory and sweet recipes for a
sugar alternative that is high in
fiber. If you have a sweet
tooth that needs to be
satisfied, they can be eaten
plain as a mid-afternoon snack.
Raisins are dried grapes, so
they can be locally grown.
They are also available at
any major grocery store.

Much like berries, multiple
fruits can be puréed to be used
as a sugar substitute. Apricots,
peaches, plums, rhubarb, and
cherries can be cooked down,
blended, and strained for a
smooth, sweet liquid that can
serve many purposes as a
sweetener.
These purées can be added
to drinks or be flavor
enhancers in multiple
dishes. The complexity that
fruit adds can elevate your
entire dish.
