You might keep a piece of bread in your brown sugar to keep it soft, or you might use a brown sugar disc instead. I have been given two but have only utilized one...until now.
See how soft and pretty my brown sugar is?
I just soaked the disc in hot water for about 15 minutes or until I remembered it. I dried it off and dropped it in. Nice!
( I can't even remember when I did this, so the effects last a long time. When it starts to harden a little, just repeat the soak, remember, dry and drop method.)
Though I wish there were a few chunks to sneak when making cookies!
Speaking of cookies...occasionally we have a few left from a batch that I keep in a cookie jar, but invariably they would become hard and inedible.
Enter my second brown sugar disc!
I soaked it, remembered it, dried it and dropped it in with some gingersnaps. Heaven!
Here you can see it 'in action' with some oatmeal cookies. They are as soft and tasty today as they were on Saturday when I made them. Four days is a long time in cookie years!
If you have a clear cookie jar like I do, just tuck it in the back. See? you'd never know! Though if I took a picture of that same jar this instant, you would see the disc.
It's hard to hide it with only two cookies left.
