Default Organic Blue Agave

I bought some of this at the grocery store's bulk and organic food
section. It claims to be 1 1/4 times sweeter than an equal amount of
sugar and calls itself "A low glycemic organic sweetener" on the label.

I used a little bit tonight in a marinade/basting sauce for Cornish game
hen.

Nutritional info says it's 16 grams of carbs per tablespoon The
consistency is like a light syrup.

I'd have DH test but I used so little (1/2 teaspoon in a marinade) that
it won't show up on the meter.

Has anyone used larger proportions as a sweetener? How did it work? How
were the numbers?

Thanks,
Janet
