Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

Caster Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar

Caster sugar dissolves easily so it is ideal for meringues, puddings, jellies and cake mixes. When used in baking, the smaller sugar crystals caramelise evenly so it produces a fine golden colour in the finished product.
Being a superfine white sugar it can be used as a dry topping, often sprinkled over fruits or baked goods as a light dusting finish.

Pure Icing Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar

While no cake would be complete without it, icing sugar can also be used to make goodies such as shortbread, cream fillings, marshmallow, and fondant; anywhere a smooth, soft finished texture is required. CSR Pure Icing Sugar is the perfect icing sugar for all your traditional and decorative special icing needs. As CSR Pure Icing Sugar is 100% natural sugar this ensures the icing has a firm setting quality every time.
