Glossary
Muscovado sugarMuscovado sugar is also known as 'poor man's sugar' or Barbados sugar, but takes its name from the Spanish 'mascabado' which means unrefined. It is pure, natural brown cane sugar with a delicious rich taste. This sugar is available in colours ranging from light brown to very dark brown, and the darker it is the more molasses it contains. Use regular brown sugar if you can't find it.
