substitution sugar for sugar
 

How do I substitute brown sugar for muscovado? Should I pack it down
or not when I measure?

you should use brown sugar along with a tablespoon full of
molasses.....more or less according to how strong you
want the sugar to be

Many recipes from India call for jaggery which is a lot like
muscovado, has a stronger more molasses taste to it. I always
add some molasses to brown sugar to use in those recipes as well.

I was thinking about nb's fruitcake recipe. I don't want to buy some
sugar I'll never use just to make it, so adding a bit of molasses
makes more sense. I like the light color, so I hope added molasses
won't change that.

no a spoonful won't change the color much at all.

Thanks. I use unsulphured molasses, will a spoonful actually affect
flavor enough to matter?

difference..
