[Sca-cooks] re: cane vs beet sugar

[Vincent Cuenca]

Sounds like what you have there is piloncillo.  It's a true brown sugar;
lots of molasses in there.  The flavor is a bit strong, but it makes good,
golden-brown marzipan. You can also steep strong coffee with orange peel,
cinnamon and chunks of piloncillo to make cafe de olla.  Great on a Sunday
morning.

HTH,
Vicente
