Homestead Sugar
Sugar is sold in a 1-1.5 lb block.
Amongst many other fruit trees, vegetables, and edible roots, we also grow our own sugarcane. It grows in a thriving patch right next to our coffee.
We often press our canes ourselves to make sugarcane juice, but for our tapa dulce we outsource it to our experienced Tico neighbors. They spend hours cooking down our sugar juice in a huge embedded cast iron wok over a wood-burning flame. Once it’s been cooked down, it is put in molds to harden. This creates a delicious sugar that can be used exactly as the granulated sugar you may be used to, except this one is more nutritious. That’s because it maintains its molasses and other vital minerals. This sugar paired with our coffee is a perfect match.
While it is in solid form, it still has a delicious moisture about it which is evident once you cut into it. This is probably the freshest (and most nutritious) cane sugar you will ever have.
