I grew up doing this so I just kind of assumed that everyone did it, but after talking to some friends who were amazed at the idea, I realized that not everyone knows this trick.
Does your brown sugar get hard after a while? A super easy way to keep it soft is to put a piece of bread in with it. I put the heel of the loaf of bread in mine because no one eats that anyways. If your brown sugar is already hard, putting a piece of bread in the bag or container will soften it back up. This trick works for hard cookies too.

I have that same container although I don't store my brown sugar in it :) I keep my brown sugar in the fridge and it doesn't seem to get as hard but sometimes it still happens. I'm going to have to remember this!
ReplyDeleteI keep my brown sugar in the refrigerator, too, but I need to keep this in mind anyway. Sometimes I get my sugar home from the store and realize it is already hard.
