I’m interested in the ‘new wave’ kinds of sugar available–like stevia, agave, succanat, sucralose (etc) blends. Any info? Thanks!

Great article on Sugar but I wish there had been info on the difference between ca e and beet sugars and when to use or not use them.

Make your own powdered sugar.using White Granulated Sugar
and a blender. Works great.

Thanks for the informative post I didn’t realise I could make my own brown sugar. I’ll file that away in case I run out one day because we always have molasses in, I love the stuff.

Such an informative post! I use all different types of sugars but I never really understood the differences (other than the color and texture of course) until now!

I find myself reaching for my muscovado sugar more and more — gives you a lot of brown sugar richness without tasting too molasses-y or requiring so much actual sugar. I’m trying to retrain my husband’s and my sweet tooth, and muscovado is one of my main crutches!
PS Resist the urge to pack it tightly into a jar… :/

Very informative! Thanks! I like the tips of how to soften brown sugar once it’s hardened.

I had no idea you could make your own brown sugar. Really great info! I knew a lot of the different types and names of the sugars from when I was living in New Zealand but I didn’t know a lot of the uses of them. Great info
