FOOTNOTES:

Sucanat:

A granulated form of unrefined cane sugar; made from cane juice. Sugar in this form is a whole food and therefore retains all of the vitamins and minerals found in nature. Sucanat is stirred into the dry ingredients when making baked goods, because it does not emulsify with creamed ingredients. It imparts many of the same characteristics as brown sugar (which can be substituted for Sucanat on a one to one basis), and is found in health food stores nationwide.

Fruitsource:

A wholesome sweetener made from grapes and grains. Available at natural food stores> in both liquid and granulated forms. Fruitsource also acts as a fat replacer in baked goods, because it is a source of pectins. Fruitsource is widely used in commercial baking under the name Fruitrim.
