First, thanks so much for the help! Second, sorry I did not notice or my
memory did not retain recent postings on the subject. For any others who
share this noticing/memory flaw, here, courtesy of other listmembers, is
the low-down on brown sugar:
Domino dark brown sugar, kosher for passover, is gluten free (evidently,
even though it says 'caramel color" on the label), according to a member of
a New Jersey support group
----And here is some useful product information, plus a recipie for making
your own brown sugar:
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.
