I have a German recipe for gingerbread and it calls for honey, but it just isn't the same. Any help would be appreciated!" Answer: Melissa, I know of no good substitution for molasses. It is simply a must for making gingerbread and gingerbread cookies. Cane syrup is a thought – but, that would be even harder to find. Every major grocery store should carry molasses. Check with your grocer – you may be looking in the wrong place. Look in the baking isle next to the flour and sugar. If that fails visit http://www.grandmasmolasses.com to order online.
