The great sugar debate - Article & recipe

[Guest guest]

Beet sugar (Spreckels is one brand) does not need to undergo a de-colorizing

process. The article below mentions Jack Frost Sugar as one company which uses

granular carbon instead of bone char. I'm not sure about the U.S., but have

read that sugar companies in the U.K. use limestone-derived filters exclusively.

Here's a recipe for powdered sugar -- unbleached cane sugar is also marketed as

Turbinado sugar.

2 C. unbleached cane sugar

In a blender or food processor, blend sugar and cornstarch for 1 minute. Scrape

down the sides and blend an additional 30 seconds. Store in an airtight

container.
