Posted By: Steps Subject: Brown Sugar shortage.. Date Posted: 13 Dec 2021 at 8:05am Did a big snap smoke up yesterday , marinated 36hrs  When come to make the marinate up, not enough brown cane sugar or even brown and caster in the pantry... So got some std sugar, the added a bit of molasses and maple syrup folding in to taste....and not knowing when the shortage will be over, made a couple kgs. It took a little more to disolve up in the water used in the marinate, but ok.  And when dried off the fillets on the bench to do the sugar/ pepper / chilli rub, it took quite a bit more for the crystals to break down...still all good. Most of this gets patted/ dried off as it brings the remaining moisture out of the surface so not end up with smoked fish tasting like a sweet lolly. The end result have a far deeper and wider flavour tone so now considering to go this way rather than the old  dark brown cane sugar...
