[CnD] brown sugar

Can someone please refresh my memory on the best way to store an open box of brown sugar so it doesn't harden like a rock? I had to get it in order to make the October fest dinner posted on this list a few weeks ago. I used a 3 qt crock pot, but a 5 qt probably would have been better. Thanks.

Re: [CnD] brown sugar

I use Tupperware containers and seal them good with no problem, but if you leave it open a crack it will harden. Then just put a piece of soft bread in the container and it will soften up again. Jan - Original Message - From: sharon howerton shrn...@att.net To:

Re: [CnD] Cloves

You can even get the spice cloves whole and ground... some folks place the whole cloves all over the outside of hams and then cook it, and some folks have pushed whole cloes into an orange (not pealed) and use it for a scented decoration Hope this helps - Original Message - From:

[CnD] Labeling Frozen Foods

I'm looking for a reliable way to label frozen foods. Stickers don't stay stuck, or they get damp and the Braille is erased. I do not have a talking device of any type for labeling and cannot afford 1 at this time, so those suggestions won't work for me. Any ideas appreciated. Rhonda

Re: [CnD] brown sugar

Sharon, It is best if you can keep the brown sugar in a tightly covered plastic container with a slice of white bread on top to prevent moisture buildup. Charlotte - Original Message - From: sharon howerton shrn...@att.net To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Sent: Tuesday, November 10,

Re: [CnD] Labeling Frozen Foods

Try using Perma Braille paper from APH. Attach this to the frozen item with string, rubber band or twist tie. Perma Braille paper is like thermaform paper, but it is slick. This holds up very well in freezer and can be washed. Great for recipes and information you want for permanent storage. Try

Re: [CnD] Labeling Frozen Foods

You can use the demo tape and just make it centered so that you have a space on each end of the tape, and take a hole puncher, punching a hole at each end, so you don't hit the Braille on it, and take a piece of elastic, cut what ever length, you need to put around things, run it through the

I would think that you could take a spoonful of the molasses, place it in a cup and place that cup in an inch or two of warm water. Then see how the molasses turns out. I have never had my molasses crystallize, so am not sure if it will rejuvenate or not. By trying a bit instead of your
