Hard Sugar

[prison break fan]

Hi, went to make a cake this morning and found the brown sugar like a rock! Can it be rescued? Would hate to waste it! Thanks in advance. pbf.

Put it in a basin and cover with a damp cloth. Leave it overnight and its moistness will return.

Afraid this doesn't help you if you wanted to make the cake now though

When it is moist again put in a sealed airtight container and they never go hard in those containers ever!

Thankyou so much! I don't have a food processor, so it is in the bowl with the damp cloth. We have chocolate sponge for tea! pbf.

Turn it out of the container and into a pot of boiling water to use it to brew a beautiful golden wine (of undetermined nature - possibly raisin and something) with it!
