Cinnamon Sugar FAQ
Cooking with cinnamon sugar is relatively straightforward and it’s hard to go wrong with it. The only common mistakes might be using too much in a recipe, resulting in overly sweet dishes or not storing it properly and allowing it to clump. However, a little goes a long way, and by gradually adding to your dish, you can easily control the sweetness and cinnamon flavor. Superfine sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar for a more delicate texture. You can also experiment with using brown sugar instead of white for a deeper, caramel-like flavor. To maximize its use, cinnamon sugar can be made in batches and stored in airtight jars for long periods, ready at hand whenever required. Adding to your morning coffee, on toast or cereal brings an exciting twist to your regular breakfast. makes a pleasant addition to various beverages, too. Perhaps a lesser-known use of cinnamon sugar is as a sweet rub for certain meats, such as pork or beef, which pairs very well with the savory flavors. Little known tip: Adding a tiny bit of cornstarch to the mix can prevent clumping, as it absorbs any moisture.T

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does cinnamon sugar expire?
Unopened, cinnamon sugar should adhere to the best before date printed on the packaging, which is typically 2-3 years. Once opened, it should keep its peak quality for about the same time, assuming no moisture or contaminates have entered. The blend does not need to be refrigerated, and freezing it is not recommended because the taste quality can be affected negatively.
How do you tell if cinnamon sugar is bad?
While cinnamon sugar doesn't spoil in a way that would make you ill, it can lose its potent flavor over time. The first sign that your cinnamon sugar might be past its prime is less distinct scent. Also, if any moisture gets in the container, it can cause clumps to form. While these clumps aren't necessarily harmful, they indicate the spice is not as fresh. Any odd odors or colors besides the typical tan/brown should also signal that the blend might have gone bad.
Tips for storing cinnamon sugar to extend shelf life
• Store your cinnamon sugar in an air-tight container to maintain flavor and prevent moisture contamination. • Keep the blend in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cabinet, to extend its shelf life. Extreme temperatures or light can speed up the loss of flavor. • Use a clean, dry spoon to take cinnamon sugar out of the container. This prevents any moisture or food particles from getting mixed in.
