Homemade Brown Sugar

1 cup white sugar


2 tablespoons molasses

Combine both ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth and sticky. Makes 1 cup of brown sugar.  This may be used anywhere brown sugar is used. 

To double the recipe, use 2 cups of white sugar and 1/4 cup of molasses.

Store any leftovers in a ziplock bag or jar with a good lid.  This isn't much cheaper than store-bought brown sugar but is nice to know about  in a pinch.  Molasses is reasonably priced and nice to keep around for baking.  It is not a necessity however, so save it for the feast days, not the famine days.
