somewhere I read how to make brown sugar with molasses, but that is all I remember, do any of you have a clue or am I losing it? Lee > somewhere I read how to make brown sugar with molasses, but that is all I > remember, do any of you have a clue or am I losing it? Lee First, why on earth would you want to. Second, if I remember right from a very smelly visit to a sugar mill, molasses is a by product of sugar production. If thats the case, molasses would be left over after the sugar was made. Jo I want to make cookies and am out of brown sugar, and DH is on his way to Chicago to visit his mother before her surgery tomorrow so I have no way to get to the store, and you are correct, it is a by product, I am trying to figure out if A. I can do it, and B if the senior moment I appear to be having is a real or imagined memory I am recalling incorrectly, Lee > > somewhere I read how to make brown sugar with molasses, but that is all I > > remember, do any of you have a clue or am I losing it?

The recommended amounts I saw used were 1 cup of sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of molasses stirred together evenly (with a fork, but use whatever you want). Amount of molasses depends on how dark brown sugar you want.

Lee Most commercially available brown sugar is nothing more than regular sugar mixed with molasses. SignatureVictor M.

Lee I'm sure it's possible, since IIRC molasses is derived from cane syrup, brown sugar is merely a refinement of that (and white sugar a refinement of brown sugar). However, given the relative prices of molasses and brown sugar (at least in the U.S.) why would you WANT to? 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon molasses (more or less, depending on how dark you need the sugar to be) You want it darker add another teaspoon A bowl, large enough to hold a cup of sugar during vigorous stirring A fork An airtight plastic container Step 1 Pour the sugar into the bowl Step 2 Add the molasses. Step 3 Stir with the fork. It looks impossible at first, but suddenly, I promise, it will start to mix in and begin to look like brown sugar. Keep going until all the molasses has been incorporated. Be sure to store the sugar in an airtight, tightly sealed container, as it will harden into a bricklike substance just like the kind you buy in a store > somewhere I read how to make brown sugar with molasses, but that is all I > remember, do any of you have a clue or am I losing it?
