Crafted with thoughtfully sourced ingredients, Homestead Sweetener reflects the Forage standard — balanced sweetness, rooted in nature.

A zero sugar sweetener crafted to bring balanced sweetness without the spike. Thoughtfully made for the everyday kitchen, Homestead delivers clean, measured sweetness to every bake. Formulated with just three organic ingredients—cassava root fiber, allulose, and monk fruit—it replaces traditional sugar cup-for-cup (1:1), with no conversions required.

Cassava root fiber offers gentle prebiotic support, while allulose—a rare sugar found naturally in fruits like figs—and monk fruit provide a soft, rounded sweetness without added sugar.

Ingredients

½ cup salted butter (1 stick / 112 g)
1 cup Homestead Sweetener (180 g)
1 cup cream or coconut milk (240 g)
1 teaspoon molasses (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

• Whisk in the Homestead Sweetener, cream (or coconut milk), and molasses, whisking until fully dissolved.

• Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

• Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

• Remove from heat and allow the caramel to cool on the counter, stirring occasionally as it thickens.

• The caramel will continue to thicken as it cools. Cook longer for a thicker consistency, if desired.

Note

If the caramel separates (usually due to heat that’s too high), remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Return to low heat and gently whisk in 1 tablespoon of water until the caramel comes back together.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
