I was out of brown sugar a few months back, and discovered a recipe for it! Now I always make my own. I can control how dark it is, which is really nice for recipies that specify either light or dark brown sugar.
All you do is take 1 cup sugar and add 1-2 TBSP of molasses (2 TBSP will give you dark brown sugar). Easy peasy! Mix it all together with a fork and you're ready to go! There is a part in the process where the sugar will get kinda clumpy, but just keep working it and it'll turn out fine!

I never new you could do that how cool is that. I am going to make some today. I have some organic sugar and would love to use that instead of buying it. Thanks for the info.
Can this be stored or does it have to be used up right away? I have plenty of sugar. My hubby drives a truck and he just got a bunch of bags of sugar that had a few opened so they wouldn't take them. I like when that happens. I use white sugar to make kambucha and to put in the hummingbird feeders only. And I bought a gallon of molasses. So was just wondering about storing it for a long time.
