Making brown sugar from raw sugar in the Thermomix

In anticipation of the arrival of the thermomix I ordered a bulk lot of raw sugar. Then I realised we had run out of brown sugar. So Stu thought he'd find out how to make brown sugar.

The measurements are about 1 cup of raw sugar to 2tbs of molasses.

He blitzed the sugar a bit to make it finer. He said he didn't measure the molasses, rather poured it in slowly until the colour looked right.

Another thing I won't have to buy. Not to mention its more enviro-friendly according to this - white sugar vs raw sugar

It starts!

So I am the proud owner of a thermomix! I've had it for 5 days and I am a devoted fan.

I got a thermomix because I like to make lots of stuff from scratch but I'm sick of the mess. I'm already having a lot of success in the reduced mess department.

Besides it just seems so cool.....

I'm going to put my recipes and cooking success on here to share with everyone :)
