Cane sugar instead candi sugar
« on: December 11, 2014, 05:30:48 am »
Hi!

My memory tricked me... I thought I had enough candi sugar at home for a RIS, but as it turned out I only got 0,5 kg. But I have more than enough cane sugar (brown) here.

My question is that can I replace the candi sugar with cane sugar?


Thanks!

You certainly can, but it won't be the same flavor if you are using dark candi sugar.

Brown sugar is basic table sugar (sucrose) sprayed with molasses - not caramelized sugar. This will taste different than ark candi sugar. If you can boil a syrup made from table sugar and a bit of citric or ascorbic (vitamin C) acid to the point that you get a dark brown/black, you have essentially made a liquid candi sugar. I use 1# sugar. 2 cups water & 1/2 tsp citric acid. Then it's watching the boil for 1+ hours until the water evaporates and it turns dark.
