Do you know what turns the sugar brown…..molasses! I bought a jar of molasses at the Dollar Tree for…..$1.00. I will probably be able to make 20 cups of brown sugar from this one jar. Molasses will last for up to one year in a cool dry place. I am keeping mine in the refrigerator.

  7. Wow. That’s amazing. I actually knew that it was molasses. I even read about it that there is molasses naturally in the sugar. In processing it, they remove the molasses. The more they remove the lighter it gets. White sugar has all the molasses removed. Brown sugar has less molasses removed. Makes so much sense that you can add it back.

  16. We did a tour of a sugar mill a while ago. It was interesting to learn that all sugar in Australia is fully processed to white sugar first, then malasses added back in to varying degrees to make raw, light brown, and dark brown sugar. And all the time I’d been thinking white sugar had been the most processed.

  18. I wish I’d seen this before I tossed out the molasses! Well it was past the date anyway because every time I buy it to make gingerbread men, I use it once and then it sits there a year or two. Good to know and thank you!
