Brown Sugar

[2Boys4Me]

Hi All,

Now that I can't use a bread slice to keep my brown sugar soft, what do I use?

I've tried one of those brown clay thingys you soak in water, and I didn't really think it worked that well.

I have very rarely had the problem of my brown sugar getting hard. I store mine in a ziploc freezer bag after I open the box, and sqeeze out as much air as possible. It is still soft six months later (if it lasts that long!).

But I live in a very hot dry area of California, and I know climate plays a big role in food storage...sorry I can't be of more help.

It sort of makes me worry that a lot of non-gluten-free people might also be storing their brown sugar with bread slices and if a kind friend tries to make you a gluten-free treat and it uses brown sugar...well you get the picture.

God bless,

Mariann

I live in a pretty humid part of california, and as long as I keep it in a zip-top bag, I've never had it get hard.

I just put it in a tupperware type container and it should last at least 6 months. I use the better kind, not the disposable. but tupperware, rubbermade and the like should do fine. I live in MN and we are a humidity haven. its either hot and humid or blow 20! Ha Ha

Here's a great tip - if your brown sugar gets too hard, put it in the microwave for abut 30 seconds. It softens right up. I used to do this all the time.
