Xylitol/Birch Sugar - Recipes, Pros & Cons?
Any good recipes? Pros and Cons?
I have a bag that I hardly use in my kitchen closet,
would love some inspiration.
Was thinking of making some jam to start with. Would be fun to try out some
new recipes with it. It has an "icy" taste, close to "minty". A cold peppermint
summer beverage? Ice cream or cake? Even frosting hmm ... Used as a preservative?
Good for your teeth but can in small amounts kill a dog.
Cheers!
