REVIEW: Billington's Natural Molasses Sugar

Once in a while I come across and item that I wish I could tell the world about and, guess what?, this is the perfect place to do this. So, in future, anytime I feel the need to give my opinion on something you will find it here.


My first REVIEW is for .... sugar. Yes, sugar. 


This rich dark brown sugar is soft, moist and finely grained and it smells so good. Excellent in chocolate recipes, I have just made Orangey Spiced Gingerbread with it and I wouldn't, couldn't use anything else.
Try it out!





Unrefined Cane Sugar
The ultimate dark brown soft sugar
Molasses if the ultimate soft brown sugar, packed full of natural cane molasses and has the deepest colour and richest flavour of all sugars. Perfect for Christmas and dark chocolate cakes, mincemeat and is excellent in ethnic cooking, marinades and barbecue dishes.



Not all brown sugars are the same: many are only brown on the outside; underneath they are really refined white sugar which has been coated to add colour and some flavour.
Billington’s sugars are different. They are unrefined so the sugars are very simply produced with the aim of locking in, rather than refining out the natural molasses of the sugar cane. It is this difference that gives unrefined sugar its superior flavour and natural colour.





Product of Mauritius


Storage Note: Billington's Sugars are all-natural products from the tropical island of Mauritius. If they become hard (mainly caused by cold, dry weather) pour sugar into a medium bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave overnight and the sugars will reabsorbed the moisture. Next morning the sugars will be soft, moist and ready to use in your favorite recipes. Do not refrigerate Billington's Sugars.
