Dark Muscovado sugar is fabulous !

It's important to note that it is absolutely necessary to store it in a sealed plastic or glass container so it doesn't turn into a sugar boulder.

Bought this sugar on a whim thinking it MIGHT be good and it certainly looked like something a different than you'd ever find in a supermarket.
What a thrill it is. Granted, the packaging is plain, nothing at all fancy about it but what's inside is very fancy with a flavor so divine that it invites you to try it in everything.

Here are a few of the things I've used it for since it arrived in my kitchen.

Adds an elegant, gourmet flavor when used as a topping on french toast.
On hot cereals such as oatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice it tastes rich and the steam rising smells so good.

And here's a news flash: Mix a rounded teaspoon or two in hot or cold milk for a real treat. Or if you're like me and into making from scratch hot cocoa, instead of mixing granulated sugar into the cocoa powder mix about 1/2 as much Muscovado sugar for an out of this world cup of hot cocoa. The flavor is deep and heady with an aroma that will knock your socks off.

Want to add some pizazz to your beef stew? Add a half teaspoon of Muscovado to it about 1/2 hour before it's finished cooking.
It also will add great flavor to chili when you add teaspoon full to it near the end of it's cooking time.

Cut up a few apples, an orange and add a 1/2 cup or so of dried cranberries and a handful of crushed walnuts or pecans, sprinkle a rounded teaspoon of Muscovado sugar on top and give it a light toss. Let the mix sit in the fridge for an hour or so and you have a grand fresh dessert OR - and let me tell you this is so good you'll want to do it again....instead of serving that mixture cold (it's winter here), pour it all in a sauce pan and simmer it until the apples are soft. Serve it warm. OMG! it's good.
I've also tried the warm mix with a splash of Peach Schnapps and a dollop of whipped cream added right before serving and the flavor blew me away. All of our dinner guests have given it rave reviews.

The next thing I'm going to try it in is whipped cream - I'll come back and let you know how that goes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best unrefined sugar., February 16, 2009

This review is from: India Tree Dark Muscovado Sugar, 1 Pound (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

As a diabetic cooking without sugar can be very difficult for certain dishes, but useing a substantially unrefined cane sugar is an option that doesn't shoot glucose levels up alarmingly like refined sugar. It does have a Molasses taste so quite often rather than using molasses Ill use Dark Muscovado. This product thought is gooey and unstable so after opening I keep it in a vacuum sealed jar.
