How much honey to use in place of light corn syrup?
I’m wanting to use honey instead of light corn syrup in a marinade recipe. How much would I use if it calls for 1/2 cup corn syrup? Is honey sweeter or are they equal?

go with a little less honey. it has a stronger taste than corn syrup but should still be good.
In baking corn syrup is used for thickening too, so honey isn’t an exact substitute in that case.
For a marinade, just use the same amount of honey as corn syrup.
Honey is healthier than corn syrup but it will change the flavor of your marinade and final product. I would NOT use honey but if I had no choice I’d use no more than 1/4 cup.
Healthier:
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say that honey may be a healthier alternative than corn syrup due to its higher level of antioxidants, compounds which are believed to fight cancer, heart disease and other diseases.
Honey, which contains a number of antioxidant components that act as preservatives, also shows promise as a replacement for some synthetic antioxidants widely used as preservatives in salad dressings and other foods, according to Nicki Engeseth, Ph.D., associate professor of food chemistry at the university.
Dark-colored honey, such as buckwheat honey, is generally thought to contain higher levels of antioxidants than the light-colored varieties, according to the scientists. Previous studies by the researchers suggest that honey may have the same level of disease-fighting antioxidants as that of some common fruits.
