How do I Keep Brown Sugar From Going Hard?
Commercial brown sugars are made with molasses and refined white sugar. Brown sugar can be a challenge to keep fresh, especially if you do not use the sugar often. Brown sugar needs to be stored properly to prevent it from becoming hard. The moisture levels can be maintained by storing the sugar in a tightly sealed container to keep air from coming into contact with it. If the sugar becomes hard, you can soften it to use in recipes. Pour the brown sugar into a covered container. For further protection, you can store this container in a second canister with a lid that fits tightly to keep air out. If you do not have a container, store the brown sugar in a moisture-proof sealed plastic bag. Ensure that you seal the lid tightly to keep out any excess air. Squeeze out as much air as possible from a moisture-proof plastic bag. Store brown sugar in a cool and moist area. Freeze the brown sugar if you live in a dry area. Place the brown sugar into a sealed container or a zipper-sealed plastic
