How should C&H Brown Sugar be stored?
Air hardens brown sugar. Store it in a cool, moist area in a covered container. If that s not possible, store the entire container in a second canister with a tight-fitting lid. You can also empty the sugar into a rustproof container (or a heavy, moisture-proof plastic bag) and keep it tightly closed. Even though the shelf life of brown sugar is indefinite, it s best to use it within six months of purchase for maximum flavor. Don t store brown sugar in the refrigerator. However, if you are in a very dry area or are going to keep it for a long time, you may want to freeze it. To use frozen sugar, thaw it for two or three hours. If ice crystals form after long freezer storage, gently stir the sugar as soon as it thaws to prevent pockets of moisture from causing damage. (Note: C&H’s 2 lb. brown sugars are now packaged in a popular zip-pack container.
