This year for the first time ever I've got round to netting my

The trouble is I'm a bit stuck for ways of using them. I'd like some
ways that are reasonably healthy, i.e. without having to use loads of
sugar. I guess with honey and yogurt would be worth trying. Any other
ideas?

You seem to be implying that sugar will do you harm and that honey
won't. To all intents and purposes, honey is just a very strong
solution of sugar (sucrose) in water, hydrolysed to fructose and
glucose, with small quantities of some other sugars such as mannose,
and trace amounts of things such as pollen, flavours and bee crap.
Although there are those who attribute wonderful healing properties to
honey, it contains the same number of calories as an equivalent amount
of sugar, and in that respect is no less harmful.

Go ahead, use sugar!
