| in my sauce I normally use 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 a cup molasses. Can I use sugar in the raw instead or would it be too different. |

It'll be different. Sugar in the Raw is a turbinado sugar with a much different flavor than our brown sugar.
You could however use dark brown sugar in place of your light brown and molasses combo. Molasses is what makes our brown sugar brown. Dark brown simply has more molasses than light brown. _________________ Somewhere in Kenya...a village is missing their idiot. |

You can also use other sweeteners such as honey, sorghum, maple syrup, other syrups, as natural sweeteners, than you can use the synthetics if that's the way you want to go... (not me though I want to stay as natural as possible). _________________ Here's a change Robert.

The Buffalo area is great for maple syrup and I replaced the honey in my recipe with it. Used to take a 1/2 cup of honey. I use 1-1/2 cups of maple syrup (B grade - It's not worse than A grade it just tends to have a stronger maple note). I get a nice maple note with it. The wifey won't let me use honey anymore. I buy a bunch of maple syrup in the spring when it comes into season. Expensive but worth it.
