Brown Sugar - How to Store

To keep brown sugar moist, store in an airtight container with a whole orange, lemon, or lime.
Store brown sugar in a tightly covered cannister with a slice of apple or bread.
The first time you open a box of brown sugar, cut across the top of the inside bag with scissors. Take out what you need, roll the top down, pressing out as much air as you can, and staple it shut with three to four staples at the top. (Caution: Be careful not to drop a staple in the sugar!) For good measure, put the stapled bag in another plastic bag. Stored like this, brown sugar will stay moist forever.
Slip a strip of orange rind into the plastic bag of sugar, twist the bag shut, and replace it in the box upside down.
