Sunflower Bakery, Helena MT
We've all done it... bought a fresh bag of brown sugar, tucked it into storage for that next batch of chocolate chip cookies, and forgotten it.
In our pantry, we have a special tub where sugars of all kinds are stored, but brown sugar is the only one likely to go solid when your back is turned. Yesterday I found not one — but two — fully sealed bags of brown sugar turned to stone in that storage tub.
The solution — a container that seals tight and a little bit of water in a small dish. These tubs with silicon seals are great for so many uses, but this one takes the cake (or cookie, so to speak). You can see the scratches on the block of sugar where I tried to break it up yesterday, and to the left is the end result — today's rehydrated sugar.
Add this to your list of "No-Waste Solutions," it is a money and time saver. And a great excuse for baking cookies!
Happy baking!
