Recipes
Recipes on the Aussie Pumpkin Patch are made with natural forms of sweetener after we discovered that at least three of the four of us had high sugar sensitivities. Most often we use a combination of honey, & stevia. However, we also like to use maple syrup, brown rice syrup, fruit juice, and coconut sugar just to name a few.
