A Cure for Dried up, Hard Brown Suger

Have you ever opened up a whole bag of brown sugar, only to use a few teaspoons, and rubber banded the rest up for future use?  A month later, you come back to it and it's turned into one big chunk. Lovely. Now what?  There is actually as simple solution to get your brown sugar back to its original condition.  Bread. Soft, moist, bread. Take a couple of slices, throw it in the bag and seal it up into a plastic container or a sealable bag for 2-3 days. What you will notice is the bread has become dried up and hard, and at least a portion of your sugar has sucked up its moisture. miracle!

The best thing to do when you open up a bag of brown sugar is to either throw it into a resealable bag, or even better, empty it into a Mason jar and close the lid up tight.
