Molasses sugar is an intensely rich and dark unrefined sugar with a high molasses content, even more than dark muscovado. This gives it a moist, sticky texture, a very dark colour, and a bold, robust flavour that’s earthy, almost smoky, with hints of caramel, toffee, and a distinct molasses tang.
Uses of Molasses Sugar
- Baking: It’s perfect for recipes that need a deep flavor, such as gingerbread, fruitcakes, sticky toffee pudding, and dark cookies.
- Dark Sauces and Glazes: Its intense molasses taste adds depth to BBQ sauces, marinades, and glazes for pork, beef, or game meats.
- Savory Dishes: Use it in chili, stews, and braises for a rich sweetness that complements spices, adding a caramelized edge.
- Beverages: Add a small amount to coffee or hot chocolate for a deep, complex sweetness, or mix it into cocktails for a smoky touch.
- Fermented Foods: Molasses sugar can also work in homemade fermented products, like ginger beer or kombucha, as the molasses supports yeast activity and adds a bold flavour.
