Thematic THURSDAYS: Sugar Substitutions

So how much agave do you use in a recipe that calls for 2 cups of corn syrup? How much honey in a recipe that calls for 1 cup of brown sugar?

There are some great sugar substitutions websites: AllRecipes does an admirable job comprehensively reviewing all the calculations, but it's not perfect - there's not a whole lot on Stevia subs and some of the non-nutritive sweeteners. OCChef offers some additional information about weights and relative moisture. The 'nons' are dealt with very well by the About.com folks.Still more information here. And a honey substitution primer can be found here.
