In reply to Diane Darran. Hi Diane, I have never used this sugar substitute so I can't say for sure how or if it would thicken. I would say make a small batch and see what happens!

Hi Chef Marcus. I am diabetic. Can I substitute something like Swerve sugar substitute for the regular honey? I've made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving by using the Swerve, and by cooking it down I did get a syrupy sauce. Thanks for your advice in advance!

In reply to Milenia. Hey Milenia, as with any food product containing herbal ingredients, you should always consult your family doctor or health care practitioner for advice on what is, and isn't safe for toddlers and young children. Have a great day!

Yes I have made this two times now. Both came out just like syrup. The boiling takes a little over an hour before done. I added orange peel and a little lemon juice and the taste is amazing! I did can them for longer shelf life by boiler method for 12 minutes. I am trying to decide if I want to make a third batch as we have many dandelions and plenty for the bees!
