Muscovado sugar dark

also: Dark Muscovado

Description:
Dark brown muscovado sugar (there is also a lighter variety) is a raw cane sugar from the island of Mauritius. It has residual moisture and therefore tends to form lumps.  Therefore, it can hardly be used as caster sugar.

However, its unique, heavy and nutty caramel flavor easily compensates for this limitation. Muscovado sugar is suitable for baking, cocktails, sweetening coffee and tea, and marinades for meats that need a sweet flavor with some depth (e.g., Jamaican jerk, barbecue).

Usage:
Use dark muscovado sugar in quantities to taste. Be sure to store in an airtight container.

Aroma/Taste:
Sweet, nutty and like caramel.

Harmonizes with:
Cinnamon, clove, vanilla, tonka beans.

Origin:
Mauritius
