I did recently find an ice cream recipe that called for it, but it used a paste form of coconut sugar. Is the granulated kind just as good? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/palm-sugar#post-498 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:00:54 +0000 chocolatechic 498@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I have never heard of palm sugar. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/palm-sugar#post-467 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:38:40 +0000 Mootie18 467@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>What a great idea making the syrup. I have been using palm sugar instead of agave as well...like in Elana's "tapioca" I used 2 tbsp instead of the agave. I like to sweeten our yogurt with it as well. We made frozen yogurt this summer with a qt of whole, plain yogurt, 1/4 cup palm sugar and chopped up fruit/berries of your choice. It's a tart yogurt but very refreshing. We froze it in the cuisinart ice cream maker.</p> <p>I like the syrup idea because some of the recipes using coconut flour need that liquid...this is perfect. Thanks so much! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/palm-sugar#post-464 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:51:45 +0000 tessasanso 464@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Coconut Palm Sugar Syrup</p> <p>Capture the caramelized, butterscotch flavor of coconut palm sugar for a simple treat next time you make pancakes or waffles. This also works as a sweetening boost to your favorite cocktail!</p> <p> * 1 ½ cups palm sugar<br /> * ½ cup water.</p> <p>1. To make the syrup, bring the coconut palm sugar and water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stop stirring and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3 minutes. Keep warm if to be used immediately. Or, let it cool and keep refrigerated to use later on.</p> <p>I made this and used it in place of the agave . WOrked BEAUTIFULLY!!! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/palm-sugar#post-463 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:57:01 +0000 tessasanso 463@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I would love to know this too. Have you tried any recipes and substitutions with the palm sugar. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/palm-sugar#post-223 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:13:42 +0000 Imara 223@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I know that Elana uses agave nectar as a sweetner but I prefer palm sugar or coconut sugar as it is sometimes referred to. It is a whole sweetner non processed sweetner and it registers as about a 35 on the glycemic scale - you use it the same as you would sugar. Does anyone know what the substitutions are if you want to use another sweetner besides agave in Elana'a recipes? </p>
