Brown Sugar Rescue

Oh we've all been there.  Heading to the pantry, intent on the recipe at hand, when suddenly - recipe derailed!  Disaster and disappointment!  No brown sugar; a key ingredient to quite a few recipes.  The following is a quick fix with common household ingredients - think of it as MacGyvering your recipe back on the rails to Yummy Town.  Okay that last bit was a bit much, but I'm sticking with the MacGyvery analogy.

Brown Sugar
(yields 1 cup, plus)

1 cup white sugar
1 cup molasses

Combine and stir, stir, stir! A fork seems to work best if stirring by hand. You could also use a Kitchenaid mixer set on low.

Store indefinitely in an airtight container.  Should the brown sugar become dry, add a piece of apple to keep the moisture level even.

  1. Does the apple slice work for store bought brown sugar too?
