How to Substitute Cider Vinegar for Sugar (5 Steps)
Cooking is an art as well as a science. Following a recipe is one way to make great dishes, but sometimes you realize you're lacking an ingredient. Some people just prefer to experiment and improvise with different ingredients. Often, certain ingredients can be substituted for others. Swapping sugar with cider vinegar is a challenge because their flavors are divergent, but it can be done.
Instructions
-
Compensate for the lack of sugar by adding some other sweetener, such as honey.
-
Use only as much cider vinegar as you need (or to taste) to avoid overdoing it.
-
Add something closely related to cider vinegar, such as pureed apples, that complement that taste of the vinegar and add a little sweetness to balance it.
-
Bring out more of the other flavors in the recipe to mask the substitution.
-
Experiment with ingredient combinations until the dish tastes right after substituting for sugar.
