I have enough granulated sugar for baking what else can i use?
That's great! Granulated sugar is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways beyond baking. Here are some other ideas:
Sweetening:
* Beverages: Add to coffee, tea, lemonade, iced tea, or cocktails.
* Fruit: Sprinkle on fresh fruit for a simple dessert or use it to make fruit salad.
* Yogurt and oatmeal: Sweeten your breakfast with a sprinkle of sugar.
* Sauces and glazes: Add to marinades, barbecue sauce, or glazes for a sweet touch.
Cooking:
* Caramelize: Heat sugar in a pan to create a delicious caramel sauce for desserts or drizzling over ice cream.
* Candy making: Granulated sugar is the base for making many types of candy, from hard candies to fudge.
* Preserving: Use sugar to preserve fruits and vegetables.
* Pickling: Add sugar to your pickle brine for a sweet and sour flavor.
Beyond food:
* Skin care: Mix sugar with a little oil to create a DIY body scrub.
* Cleaning: Use sugar to scrub away stuck-on food from pots and pans.
Substitutes:
If you want to reduce your sugar intake, here are some substitutes you can use in baking:
* Honey: Adds a distinct flavor and moisture.
* Maple syrup: Provides a rich, caramel-like flavor.
* Agave nectar: Offers a mild sweetness and is low in fructose.
* Stevia: A natural, calorie-free sweetener.
* Monk fruit: A natural, low-calorie sweetener with a slightly sweet taste.
Remember to adjust the amount of substitute depending on its sweetness level compared to granulated sugar.
