Posted on 08/15/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By luv2cook (Guest Post) Betty, I can't thank you enough for this handy tip! I live in Moscow, Russia and brown sugar is so new here, that it's very difficult to find. We usually bring some over with us from our State-side trips, but run out quickly! I am a teacher at an international school here and I love to make the kids cookies. My students thank you! Posted on 03/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By sandy (Guest Post) Thanks much all of you! I am in Switzerland where there is no brown sugar, just some strange kind i have not used, just heard it was pretty ick...now is there molasses- I think so! Now, how about how to make oat bran cereal for the same muffins that need brown sugar?! I am on my last legs with the brown sugar and oat bran (and three more months across the Pond), so any advice -thanks! Just found this site (searching for the bs) and like it much too! Posted on 12/06/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By Joankay (145) Contact Wish I had made a note of this when I read it a few weeks ago. I discovered I was out of brown sugar right in the middle of baking - of course. I followed the recipe on the jar of molasses which was one cup of sugar to one HALF cup of Molasses - way too much. I now have a batch of very gooey cookies. I will know better next time Posted on 11/11/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By camo_angels (603) Profile Contact I have been making my own "brown sugar" for awhile, with 1 cup sugar to 2 Tbls. molasses. I use an airtight canister to store up to 5 cups at a time. It stores good for me, but where I live is pretty dry, especially in the summer. I go through it fast, so it is much more convenient to just make some up when it gets low! BTW, for S&A's post: it helps to mix it before hand, because of the consistency, and if water comes into contact, it will "clog" up and make it hard to mix. But it shouldn't hurt to try if it doesn't affect the outcome, like cookies.

Posted on 09/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By loridawn1956 (58) Contact How do you get it to dry and use for future use?? This sounds great if I can make it to use for later. Posted on 09/17/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By gigglemagoo (4) Contact I like to make my own dark brown sugar (I prefer dark to light as dark brown sugar gives a deeper, richer flavor) with that good ol' Southern staple/treat--sorghum! dee-licious. :-) gigglemagoo in Augusta, GA Posted on 09/12/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By MCW (1006) Profile Blog! Contact I've also made my own brown sugar for many years now, and not only brown sugar but you can make your own powdered sugar by adding 2 cups of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a blender. Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes and there you have powdered sugar.

Posted on 03/11/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By teachpad (55) Profile Contact The store brand brown sugar is almost always granulated sugar mixed with molasses. . So, in short, you can use your home made variety of sugar successfully in pretty much any recipe that calls for brown sugar. For all practical purposes, it is the same thing. Go to http://www.chsugar.com for interesting information on how brown sugar is made.

It came out great and should be a lot lower in calories. Next time I will go down to 1 of molasses as I think it still will work. Posted on 03/20/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By Susanna (Guest Post) It's AMAZING with chocolate chip cookies! Once, I was out of brown sugar, and I just used this in place -- ever since, I've left the brown sugar out of the recipe entirely! THANK YOU!

Your information on making your own brown sugar was a help to me. Thank you. Posted on 02/02/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By s&a (Guest Post) Just wondering--If the recipe calls for one cup of brown sugar, can't we just add 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon molasses and not bother mixing them up first? It seems easier. S & A Posted on 12/24/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By Elizabeth (Guest Post) Can you use blackstrap molasses? I think it might be too strong, but I am out of brown sugar and also had some blackstrap molasses in the pantry. Posted on 10/18/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Your Own Brown Sugar By the Oracle (391) Profile Contact Those snazzy glass jars that nuts come in at Christmas time with the airtight glass tops are perfect for storing sugar, flour, etc. If they're from the same brand (or nut catalogue), they have the same matching pattern. That's what I store brown sugar in--never the box. When someone wants to know what I want as a gift, thats what I tell them--X brand nuts. It only took one year to get enough jars.

Contact Just thought I'd share this tip, it's saved me more than once. 1 cup white sugar 1-2 Tbsp. molasses* Just mix, it's a simple as that. I tried using the food processer, and the mixer, and found my fingers work the best. Just mix with your fingers and the sugar just fluffs right up. I don't buy brown sugar anymore * Use 1 Tbsp. for light brown sugar and 2 Tbsp. for dark By PICO from ST.
