I bought some new C&H brn sugar. When it gets hard, ina couple o'
months, I'll put some bread in the bag. Any recommedations as to size
of bread slice and brand?

I have had the same half slice of bread in the Tupperware container with
brown sugar for years. It's magic. There is no reason to change it.

When the brown sugar gets hard (if ever), just add half a slice of
fresh bread and seal it up overnight. The sugar will be soft within
12-24 hours. At that time, you can remove the bread and the sugar will
stay soft.

It's just the moisture in the bread too. You can add anything that has
some moisture and get the same results.

I did that the other day with some old brown sugar. Put it in a
tupperware bowl along with 1/2 slice fresh bread. Today the sugar is
very soft again and the bread is now in the trash.

Sugar is a preservative, not many molds survive concentrated sugar,
which is why prunes and other dried fruit keeps so well. I use a
piece of citrus peel as a sugar humidifier... did the same with
tobacco when I used to be a pipe smoker.
