How to soften Hard Brown Sugar

Keep it stored in an airtight container with a slice of fresh bread placed on top, apple slices or Marshmallows work well also. Seal and leave overnight. It should be fresh again in the morning, if not just let it sit another day or two. Make sure to remove the apple slices when brown sugar is soft and replace with marshmallows.

When I open a bag of brown sugar, pour it in my container, I always place marshmallows on top. This keeps brown sugar soft.

If you need to soften brown sugar in a hurry, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. On a baking sheet place a baking dish of brown sugar and also a baking dish with some water; heat in oven for about 5 minutes or so. Please check every few minutes.
