‎10 Ways To Soften Hard Brown Sugar
from the WEB…. =)

Whether You Need The Sugar Soft Now or Later, You’ll Find A Fix Here To Help You
Place the sugar in an airtight container with a slice of fresh bread placed on top. Seal and leave overnight. It should be soft and fresh again in the morning, if not just let it sit another day or two.
Sprinkle a few drops of water over the chunk of hardened sugar, seal in a plastic bag and let sit for a couple days.
Place in an open container, then top with a moistened cloth (paper towel works too). Let sit overnight.
Seal it in an airtight container with a few apple slices. This should soften it up within the next day or two. Remove apple slices once it’s fixed.
Use foil or plastic wrap to cover the top of the sugar then set a dampened sheet of paper towel (not dripping wet) on top of the foil. Seal in an airtight container and let sit overnight or a few days as needed. Remove foil and paper towel once the towel is dry and sugar is fresh again.
Buy a clay disc or if you have a pottery piece on hand (from a broken clay pot, etc.), set it in water for about 30 minutes. Dry the piece so it isn’t dripping wet. Put the clay piece in a container with the sugar and seal. Check after a few days. Keep the piece in with your sugar for months if you’d like–this will help keep it soft.
Quick Tip #1: Need it now? Put the brown sugar in a container and set in the microwave with a small bowl full of water beside it. Microwave for about 1 minute–check. If it’s still hard, try for another 30 seconds. You can keep doing this until it’s soft, but watch that you don’t melt it.
Quick Tip #2: Place the hardened sugar in a baking pan and set in oven (temperature at about 250° F). Check after 5 minutes. If still not ready, continue checking every few minutes until it is.
Quick Tip #3: Place the sugar chunk in a microwave safe plastic bag. Take a square of paper towel and moisten with water (not dripping wet–wring out excess). Arrange the wet paper towel in the bag with the sugar and seal. Heat in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds. If still not soft, microwave for a few seconds more, repeating until the sugar is ready to use. Be careful it doesn’t get too hot and melt.
Quick Tip #4: Stick chunks of the sugar in a food processor or blendeusablehop/pulse until useable.
