Using up sugar

claudiac_2

Hi, Hoping someone can come up with a use for 2 x 500g boxes of Dark Muscovado sugar, which I unearthed at the back of a cupboard this morning. They are brick hard, so would maybe need to use a hammer and chisel to break up, but I can't just throw them out.

Thanks

Ginger cake or Parkin.

Toffee or fudge.

Great for making onion Chutney!

Also I made a lovely stick sauce for pork with brown sugar...!

If you put the sugar in a bowl with a damp teatowel over the top (no touching the sugar, just the edges of the bowl) and leave overnight then the sugar should soften up nicely.
Going hard is not a sign of going off, it just means that the sugar wasn't stored in a totally airtight place. If you don't really want to use the sugar at the moment then it will store quite safely either dried out or rehumidified until you need it.

Seakay - Thank you, will do that and use one of the boxes tomorrow to make some nice sweet fudge, as suggested by Athorne1 (thanks), and a lovely ginger cake (thanks to BitterAndTwisted for that idea) Now off to find a good fudge recipe!
