Homemade Brown Sugar
In September, we will be working on an emergency preparedness Digest and I am really excited about this one. Our kitchens can also be a place for being prepared, if we have all the right ingredients on hand. I have a list of essential pantry ingredients that I will be sharing in that issue that will allow you to be able to make many things at home without having to run to the grocery store.
So with that thought in mind. . . .
Here is a tip I thought you all might like to know. Did you know you can make your own brown sugar if you have molasses and regular granulated sugar on hand?
Ingredients
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of molasses
Directions
Measure sugar and molasses into a mixing bowl. Stir with a fork until completely mixed. Your brown sugar is now ready for use! Store in an air tight container, in a cool, dark, place until ready to use.
Makes 1 cup.
Tip: If you want to make a darker brown sugar, just increase the molasses to two tablespoons.
Being prepared in the kitchen works for me!
