Homemade Brown Sugar
from
Hillbilly Housewife
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
Combine both ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth and sticky. Makes 1 cup
of brown sugar. This may be used anywhere brown sugar is used.
To double the recipe, use 2 cups of white sugar and 1/4 cup of molasses.
Store any leftovers in a ziplock bag or jar with a good lid. This isn't much
cheaper than store-bought brown sugar but is nice to know about in a pinch.
Molasses is reasonably priced and nice to keep around for baking. It is not a
necessity however, so save it for the feast days, not the famine days.
