Tate & Lyle Dark Sugar is best known for its role in sticky toffee pudding, giving the sauce its deep caramel colour and rich, molasses-like flavour. It is a dark brown sugar with a soft, moist texture that clumps easily when pressed, a sign of its intense flavour. In real home baking, this sugar is a favourite for gingerbread, fruit cake and Christmas cake, where its dark colour and treacly taste come through in every slice. It also works well in flapjacks and spiced biscuits, adding depth that lighter sugars cannot match. Many cooks stir it into marinades and glazes for pork or gammon, where it caramelises under heat to form a sticky, dark crust. Store the sugar in an airtight container or resealable bag, away from moisture, to keep it soft and easy to spoon. If it hardens, a slice of bread placed in the container overnight will help soften it again. Always spoon and level when measuring, as its moist texture packs more densely than white sugar. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard rather than the fridge, where damp air can cause it to clump further. This sugar is best used in recipes that benefit from a rich, dark colour and a deep, treacly flavour rather than a light, delicate sweetness.
