Sugar substitutes can be used in place of sugar. Labels on the products give the equivalents to a standard amount of sugar. Follow the directions to determine the amount of sweetener needed. Artificial sweeteners give a sweet flavor but do not furnish beneficial effects of sugar, like thickness of syrup and color protection.

Artificial saccharin-based sweeteners give a sweet taste but do not function like sugar to protect color, thicken syrup and give a firm texture. Additionally, artificial sweeteners may become bitter during freezer storage. A better alternative is to freeze fruit using an unsweetened pack, adding artificial sweetener at serving time. Note Preliminary research has shown that strawberries and peaches frozen with aspartame (EqualTM) are similar in quality to sugar-sweetened frozen fruit.
