Muscovado sugar

Muscovado sugar is an unrefined cane sugar originally from Mauritius and the Philippines. Unlike regular brown sugar, it retains its natural molasses, giving it a rich caramel and slightly bitter flavour with hints of rum. Its texture is moist and sticky, and its colour is deep dark brown. In the kitchen it works beautifully in gingerbread, brownies, meat marinades, BBQ-style sauces and dark breads. Use it wherever you want to add deeper, more complex sweetness to a dish. Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
