BROWN SUGAR

|
Description:
Brown sugar is white sugar combined with molasses, which gives it a soft texture. Light and dark are the two most common styles of brown sugar. In general, the lighter the brown sugar, the more delicate the flavour. Very dark or old-fashioned brown sugar has a more intense molasses flavour. Both granulated and liquid brown sugar are also now available.
How to select:
The various colours (light to dark) of this sugar will contain from 1% to 4% cane syrup that has not been refined out of the sugar contents. The lighter the colour of the Brown Sugar, the less syrup contained in the sugar. Thus, the lighter coloured sugars will have a texture that is more granular and less moist.
Use:
White sugar, raw sugar, and brown sugar are used to sweeten hot and cold beverages, and are key ingredients in most baked goods. Confectioner’s sugar is most often used to make icings for cakes. Corn syrup and molasses are used in baking.
How to store:
Store in a plastic bag. Resoften by including an apple wedge with the brown sugar in a plastic bag and sealing tightly for 1-2 days.
