**You can find commercial fruit sweeteners, ordinarily a combination of concentrated peach &
pear juices and unsweetened pineapple syrup, in health food stores, gourmet food stores and
large grocery outlets. It tastes 1-1/2 to 2 times sweeter than refined sugar. You can also
make your own fruit sweetener. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup fruit sweetener, you
can substitute 1/4 cup concentrated apple juice + 1/4 cup granulated fructose.
