keeping it in an air tight container will work the longest but if it gets dried out, take a clean paper towel, soak it with water (not dripping wet) and lay it on top of the dried out brown sugar and reseal the container. The sugar will absorb the moisture from the wet/damp paper towel and be good as new. Michelle from Newark
Another option if the sugar is already soft and you just want to keep it that way, is to put a piece of bread in with the sugar (it works even in original plastic bag). The moisture in the bread keeps the sugar soft and seems to work longer then a damp paper towel (in my opinion). The bread gets really hard and dried out and does not spoil.
