To Sharon, Peny, Phil and Anne, Thanks to all for your suggestions. I think I'll try the plain corn syrup - the recipe calls for such a small amount it probably wouldn't hurt using any of your suggestions. I may the next time try molasses - the maple syrup may not go well with the ginger in the recipe. Again, thanks. I'll get right on it. And a HAPPY EASTER to you all !!! Dot in Montana
