...In M&S of all places!
Fairtrade too.
They have it at 79p a kilo but on buy one get one half price at the moment.
It works out at less that 60p a bag which is cheaper than anywhere near me.

THanks, might go and stock up then, as long as I can resist the other stuff!

Excellent :T I've got £3 worth of M&S vouchers in my purse (which I got for free

) and was wondering what to spend them on

is this caster sugar or granulated please ?

as i only use caster sugar for cooking. and if this is what it is , then off to M&S i go.

will have a look and stock up

It is granulated sugar - I find it's just as good for most things.
I seem to remember hearing somewhere that if you particularly need castor sugar,give granulated quick wizz in a food processor and it becomes castor sugar - not tried it though.

ah ok. well thanks anyway. i used to use granulated when i had sugar in tea. but i found nearly all recipes call for caster.

wizzing in a food processer sounds interesting ( would it not become candy floss ?. i have just freecycled mine as it was from the arc . and i never use it.

If you're careful with the whizzing

then you can easily turn granulated sugar into caster. Just give it a quick blast in the food processor - not too long or you end up with icing sugar.

Yes I remember my mum doing that to make caster suger way back when.
