Homemade Brown Sugar
Description
The Homemade Brown Sugar preparation blends granulated white sugar and molasses into a moist, richly flavored sugar. Molasses acts as the key component that gives brown sugar its characteristic color, moisture, and caramel notes. Processing these ingredients together ensures even distribution of molasses within the sugar crystals.
The result is a versatile sugar version that can replace store-bought brown sugar in recipes. By adjusting the molasses from one tablespoon to one teaspoon, a lighter brown sugar can be created, allowing customization according to baking needs.
Storing the finished brown sugar in an airtight container maintains its moisture and prevents hardening, keeping it ready for baking or cooking applications over time.

- 1 tablespoon molasses
