During the holidays, I read that keeping brown sugar in glass jars help to keep them from getting concrete hard. I put the brown sugar in two jars (did not have a jar large enough for the entire box), and have been happily using the brown sugar. However, this morning, I ran out of sugar in the jar I already opened and had to open the second jar. Concrete hard! I don't know what happened. Is there a difference between jars? Is there anyway to soften the sugar in the second jar?

i have heard that if you put a slice of white bread with the brown sugar it will soften it

put a slice of bread in with the sugar. I never tried it but gramma swore by it

It must have not had a tight enough seal. Try zapping it in the microwave for a few seconds at a time, it should soften up :D:D:D

I purchase 2 lb bags of brown sugar. Once they are opened, I close the by rolling down the top and putting a rubber band around it, top/bottom.
Then I take a new zipper bag and put a few drops of water in the bottom, then insert the closed bag of brown sugar. When I need to use it, it is always soft. June in Cincinnati |
I buy brown sugar from Sam's Club and put it into a Rubbermaid storage container with the flip closures on the side (similar to Lock-N-Lock). The rubber seal around the top makes a tight seal and the brown sugar stays soft.

The bread will do the trick ... or an apple.
Careful with the microwave ... overdo it and you'll have a total meltdown! |
I use a brown bear disk in with the brown sugar. I keep my sugar in a tupperware container with the brown disk. works well

My daughter told me about the Brown Bears and said she found them at a Dollar Store. I want some!
thanks for sharing that tip! June in Cincinnati |
