from SWEET INSPIRATIONS SUGAR FREE DESSERT COOKBOOK.

To make fruit sweetener - cook four cups of fruit juice until it is reduced to one cup. If you like it sweeter add Sweet One. OR if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup fruit sweetener, use 1/2 cup frozen fruit juice plus half as much (1/4 cup) granulated fructose.

Sherry adds Sweet One instead to desired sweetness. If 2/3 cup is called for use 2/3 cup concentrate plus 1/3 cup granulated fructose. Commercial fruit sweeteners are available at health food stores. Good juices to use are apple, orange, pineapple, pineapple- orange, and grape.
