Sugar - Dark Muscovado (Mauritius) 1#

Expensive but worth it. As a treat I made sticky toffee pudding and using real ingredients like this made it fantastic.

Wonderfully moist and dark with an exceptional molasses flavor!! Very high quality. It's quite expensive so I use it sparingly and for molasses cookies. To make it last a bit longer I sometimes use half this brand and half my regular organic brown sugar in a recipe. I transferred it to a jar with a tight lid to keep it moist and fresh. I definitely would recommend giving it a try.

I wish it was not so expensive it makes the best syrup for your coffee!

I often experiment with new baking and cooking ingredients. Quite often an experimental new ingredient is disappointing. This Dark Muscovado Sugar is a WINNER. It is flavorful, in a unique way. When used judiciously it has an intriguing hint of earthy molasses. I tried it first in hot chocolate. It added to the flavor by contributing a rich, organic flavor. Next, I used it in ployes (Acadian pancakes). It added a delightful hint of the old world. I can't wait to use it in future cookies and cakes. I've been careful to add it in small amounts because the flavor is strong. Weaker (and less pure) versions would be dark brown, and then light brown, sugar. That said, those sugars add molasses back in. This sugar retains it's almost non-processed ingredients naturally. I've read that some shipments arrived rock-hard. Mine arrived moist and easily spooned out. Perfect! I really appreciate this natural, uniquely tasty, sugar that measures, mixes-in, and dissolves readily. I'm old, so I've tasted all the usual desserts a thousand times. I like them, but I’m seeking new twists on my old favorites. My next steps are cinnamon puffs, cinnamon buns, fried dough, cake frostings, pancakes, date cookies, sugar cookies, etc. If you're yearning for an intriguing new twist, give this a try. I recommend it.

I use it to sweeten my coffee. I love it. I sometimes eat a little spoonful of it because it tastes like candy.
