[yankeefan828]

How do you store brown sugar? I looking for a new way to store my I hate using ziplock bags!
I would love any ideas I want to use canisters or something but i don't know which one would keep brown sugar soft.
Thank you

Air tight glass canister and I put in a small terra cotta piece (mine looks like a teddy bear.)  You can find it in most kitchen sections (Target, WalMart, Williams Sonoma, etc.) but I had to ask an associate because they are usually hard to find.  The purpose is to draw moisture to the item and away from the brown sugar.  I lived in Manhattan and NJ during extreme summer humidity and now the NW which is rainy and never had a problem with hardening (which is due to the brown sugar absorbing moisture.)  I am sure some other smart ladies on this sight have some tricks where you wouldn't need to purchase anything.  The little bear was a few dollars and I have had it for years.

I have a set of Tupperware containers for my flour, sugar, and brown sugar.   I keep them in a dark, dry area of my kitchen to avoid clumping.   For the sugars, I also stir them regularly if I haven't opened them in a while.

I use mason jars with cheese cloth just under the lid.  Works like a charm.  We live in MO so its kinda humid in the area and I've never had any issues with it clumping - except the one time I forgot to close the  jar.
