| How can brown sugar be stored to prevent hardening? | to Top |
Store brown sugar in a way that allows the product to retain its natural moisture - in its original plastic bag (closed tightly) or in a moisture-proof container.
If the sugar hardens, let it stand overnight in a selaed jar with a damp paper towel or apple slice. For a quick fix, heat the needed amount in a 250F oven for a few minutes, or microwave on low for 1-2 minutes per cup. Use immediagely.
