How can I reduce sugar in a brown sugar syrup? It tastes too sweet, but I am not sure how to reduce the sweetness and still keep the same consistency. I made it from recipes I found on line, but really need it to be less sweet.
Add some citrus juice.
Start small as it can go sour fast. A drop or two of lemon or orange or lime juice should work.
Taste literally after each drop, and by drop I mean an eye dropper drop.
That was very good I will try the same for my lemonade, thank you and have a lovely day and I always say
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It is very hard to say but is very easy to me because I have learned so many time. Any ways it is very good.
This was perfect!! I made some egg drop soup and the amount of sugar in the recipe was too much for my taste. One drop of lemon juice did the trick! Thanks.
also bitter cocoa nibs also cut the too sweet taste down

I added too much sugar while cooking turnip greens. Is there any way to tone the sugar taste down? Sort of like you do when you add a potato if you've added too much salt.

I suggest to add more water to them let boil a few minutes then drain. If you want more water add more. I like bread in it.
Vinegar would counteract the sugar to make sweet & sour greens.
Was afraid to add vinegar so went with the "add more water" route. It worked! I drained them, added more water and boiled the fool out of them for about 5 min, then drained again.
It's so much healthier to just steam those greens and don't add sugar. Just use a little butter, salt & pepper on them when you eat them (light on the butter). They are loaded with iron and so good for you.
I was afraid to add vinegar also, so I just drained and added new water boiled for 5 mins. Then drained and added new water again with salt and garlic powder boiled for 20 minutes.
How can I fix the problem when I put too much brown sugar in my sweet potatoes? Will salt work?
