I store my brown sugar in the freezer. It stays soft and only takes minutes to “thaw” when I need it.

Good tips! I normally scrub a lot with the baking soda. An elbow greaseless way with vinegar sounds better.

I hope everyone had a Happy Canada Day, too!

Thanks for the tips! I use a terra cotta brown sugar saver, but I liked the tips about the boiled eggs, and the lemon/lime in warm water tip!

When my lemons or limes begin to get old, I juice them and put them in ice cube containers and freeze them, so if there is a way to get more juice, I’m all ears!

I live in London (UK). Our son lives with his partner in Toronto – and I love Canada. We have also made visits to Montreal and Vancouver – and it’s a wonderful country. The produce is also superb. (The only thing I didn’t try was Poutine (?)!)
Kind regards, Shirley I.

You can also use Citrus Peel instead of bread to keep brown sugar (or cookies) soft.

Wow, I never knew you could use sour milk to bake!! Sounds kinda gross, but I guess if it works then it’ll save a lot of milk from going to waste!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

Excellent tips! I love the bread in the brown sugar, I always wonder how I can unharden it!

Happy Canada Day Zesty! Hope the weather is at least a little nicer in PEI than it is here in NB!

I have TWO bags of rock hard brown sugar that are going to get the bread treatment now. Thanks for the tip!
