Making Brown Sugar

I didn't believe DB when he told me I could make my own brown sugar using white sugar and molasses. After all, he's notorious for making stuff up. Since I didn't feel like walking to the grocery and spending $2 on sugar when we already had white sugar and molasses, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Here's how it works...

Let's say you need 1 cup of brown sugar.
Measure out 1 cup of white sugar into a small bowl.
Add one teaspoon of molasses.
Mix with a fork for 5 minutes, smushing the molasses into the white sugar until it's all mixed in.

Fixing Problem Sugar:
*If it's not dark enough, add a tiny bit more molasses and continue mixing.
*If you add too much molasses and end up with super dark and stinky brown sugar, just keep adding white sugar until it's the color you like. Measure out the amount you need, and save the unused brown sugar in a jar for another day. Just make sure to put a cracker in there to keep it fresh.
