AB Points out the obvious again
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

In my house, I always have sugar and always have molasses. But I never seem to have brown sugar. If I do it's usually as... hard as a rock by the time I use it. Now, I can make my own and keep it on hand at all times. Thanks AB for another wonderful tip for my kitchen. I never have to buy brown sugar again!Read more

Love Recipes for Staples
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Since my husband lost his job, there hasn't been much (if any) money for groceries. I wanted to bake some cookies, but we... were out of brown sugar, and I was unable to go to the store to buy some. Thank you, Mr. Brown, for providing these recipes for things we can make from other ingredients we have on hand, and cheaper, too! Keep the staple recipes coming! Love your show!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Easy dark brown sugar. I love it! It tastes gooooood and is so easy to make and cheaper than buying it in the store! I... will probably always make it now. Now I have to make those pork chops. Yummy!Read more

Wow!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had no idea this was so easy! But how do you make light brown sugar. I'm guessing most of us use light over dark. Maybe you... just use less molasses??? Great show as alwaysRead more
