   If I'm doing a sugar substitute I go for Sugar-Twin (aspartame based) on   
   a measure-for-measure basis. I've not used it for baking so I can't speak   
   to its taste/effectiveness there.

   My croakers took me off of the diabetes medication totally. They had tried   
   that some years ago and my numbers showed a steady increase. So, back on   
   the "daily dose". This trip, unless I've been given prednisone, my sugar   
   is holding at 90 -105 (fasting). But, like you, I'm still considered extra-   
   sweet.

   So, if your pancreas has died how are you still above the grass? Everyone   
   I know who had their pancreas die (all from pancreatic cancer) is pushing   
   up daffodils. You must/may have been misdiagnosed.

         Title: Cranberry-Orange Relish   
    Categories: Five, Fruit, Citrus, Salads   
         Yield: 8 Servings   
       
         2 md Navel oranges   
         6 c  Cranberries   
     2 1/2 c  Sugar-twin   
       
     Cut unpeeled oranges into eighths.   
        
     Place orange, cranberries and sugar in food processor or   
     blender and grind.   
        
     Refrigerate for several hours to blend flavors.   
        
     Store covered in refrigerator.   
        
     I took this to the family Holiday dinner at my brother's   
     house last Winter Solstice celebration (2009). It was a   
     hit - especially with the diabetics. Can also be made with   
     real sugar - but, your diabetic family members won't be   
     able to take part and praise your expertise.   
      
     I sometimes add walnuts or pecans to this for crunch.
