Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar

Simply Raw ™ Turbinado Sugar has distinctive golden crystals formed as the sugarcane juices are evaporated and crystalized. It provides a delicious mellow caramel flavour to hot beverages and as a topping on baked goods and yogurts.

Redpath® Icing Sugar

Use it to make the smoothest frostings, icings, and glazes you’ve ever seen for the finishing touch on your cakes, cupcakes, and more.

Instructions

Step 1

In a small pot, combine the Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar with the water, lemon juice, and thyme. Bring mixture to a simmer and stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and cover to allow the thyme to infuse into the syrup; 10 minutes.

Step 2

Strain syrup into a bowl. Discard thyme leaves.

Step 3

Sift the Redpath® Icing Sugar and salt into the syrup and gently whisk to combine.

Step 4

Use the thyme sugar glaze to dip or spoon over cooled doughnuts or pour over cakes. Set glazed items aside to harden; 5 to 10 minutes.

Chef's Tip


*Switch out the thyme and use any fresh herbs that are in season (eg. rosemary, basil, mint).

*For a stronger caramel flavour and darker colour to the glaze, replace half of the Redpath Simply Raw™ Turbinado Sugar with Redpath® Dark Brown Sugar (2 tablespoons/ 27 grams).

*For a thinner glaze, add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of water to the glaze until the desired thickness is reached.
