Molasses and candied ginger are not easily available in Israel. Any suggestions what can substitute for them?
Can you use regular white sugar if you cant find packed brown sugar? can you also substitute honey for the mollasses? can you substutute ground ginger for the crystalized? or will all three of theses changes change thetexture and tatse dramatically?
