Several people expressed concern about the use of brown sugar in my
recipes, especially in light of the recent post that Domino Dark Brown
Sugar contains 'caramel color'.  Needless to say, anytime 'caramel
color' appears on an ingredient label, further GF verification is
indicated.

Brown Sugar should be made of molasses and refined sugar.  [for example,
Dixie Crystal Brown Sugar lists sugar and molasses as the only ingredients.]
Molasses should be made from pure sugar cane.

The label on commercial-grade "Grandma's Molasses" gives the following
recipe for making your own brown sugar (remember--this is commercial
grade).  If you doubt the integrity of the package labelling, please
contact the company.  Else, the Grandma's brand is made from pure sugar
cane.

** NOTE:  I haven't tried to bake with this.  I only include it because
several people expressed concern RE: baking with brown sugar. lynn **

** the following is copied verbatim from the package label **
=======================================================================

        To make 28 lbs. brown sugar, add 3 lbs (1 quart)
        molasses to 25 lbs of white refined sugar (or
        add 1 gallon molasses to 100 lb of sugar to make
        112 lbs brown sugar).  There is no need to premix
        --just add to your recipe.
