This is too funny. You may not get a belly laugh out of it but I think it’s a riot, having spent as much time as I have in the kitchen I had no idea, that I could make homemade brown sugar. There have been countless times when I had to change my menu because I was out of ‘brown’ sugar. I’ve never been out of white. Maybe it’s a packaging thing – white sugar is available in larger bags??? It could be that I use a lot of brown sugar. I love the caramelly flavor it lends to anything it comes near. So many dishes have a natural affinity to caramel. Apple pie, pumpkin bread pudding, butterscotch sauce never have me reaching for the molasses container. Here’s the kicker. The caramel flavor is molasses!

Homemade Brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons molasses

Place ingredients in the bowl of your food processor – you can use a fork

Wiz until it looks like brown sugar – scrape down bowl to make sure all the molasses is mixed in

Place in a sealed container

Will keep up to one month.

HINT: If you need more than one cup, simply use the same proportions and multiply by however many cups you need.

I put  an apple in my brown sugar container to keep the sugar soft.

Thanks for reading.
