📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, over medium heat, add the sugar, water, cream of tartar, and lemon juice.
(16oz/450g) dark brown sugar2 cupslemon juice (freshly squeezed )2 teaspoons
2
Once the sugar dissolves, turn down the heat and let the syrup simmer steadily until it becomes a slightly thick syrup that drips off your spatula slowly. This will takes just 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Don't worry if you think it is a bit runny at this stage because as it cools it will get thicker.

Use this molasses substitute in any recipe in place of molasses. It will last 3-4 months in an airtight container at room temperature. After a while, if you notice it hardens, heat it back up again to dissolve the granules. It makes 1 1/2 cups of molasses substitute.
