Sometimes I use:

Honey
Agave Nectar
Stevia

Those are the only three that I've used since "discovering" raw.

Agave Nectar is my personal favorite and it has a much lower Glycemic index !:D

I also use raw agave nectar (if you're not sure what that is, check out Alissa's store - link in the side bar). Sometimes dates depending on what I'm making.

I use the same as everyone else.

I have to answer your question with a question. Isn't fructose processed?:confused:

thank you for the answers ! somewhy i thought fructose was ok :( ,
i think i'll just stick to honey for now since i'm not sure we have agave or stevia here (i don't even know what they are in my language hehe )

Agave nectar is good....

I sometimes also use dried figs or dates, and soak 'em first!
