I believe they can be used interchangeably, 1 for 1.

Here, I found this:



corn syrup Notes: This is a thick, sweet syrup that's popular in America, but hard to find in other countries. Unlike other sweeteners, corn syrup doesn't crystallize and turn grainy when it's cold, so it's a good choice for frostings, fudge sauces, and candies. Baked goods made with corn syrup are moister and stay fresher longer than those made with sugar. There are two types: dark corn syrup is dark brown and has a slight molasses flavor, while light corn syrup is almost clear and has a more delicate flavor. The two can be used interchangeably in many recipes. Karo is a well-known brand. Store corn syrup at room temperature. Substitutes: golden syrup (Substitute measure for measure) OR honey (This is sweeter than corn syrup, but substitute it measure for measure.) OR molasses (Substitute measure for measure.)

Thanks, I also read where you could use 1/2 the measure of honey and do a water filler because of the sweetness of honey. I wonder how this would work with pecan or sweet potato pies???

I have a book of Honey recipes from Honey Island in Louisaina.Here is what it has.
Subistute 3/4 cup honey for 1 cup sugar.Lower baking temp .25-30 degrees to prevent overbrowning.To neutralize honeys natural acidity/add 1/12 teaspoonof baking soda to the ingredients per cup of honey.However,when sour milk is used with honey in a recipe,you may omit the extra soda.Reduce total amount of other liquids by 1/4 cup per cup of honey .Any one needing more info.I will try to find in my book.Hope this helps all.
