Sugar

Here’s every recipe on Most Hungry made with sugar. For my favorite sweets all in one place, browse my Desserts. You’ll find a no-pectin Strawberry Jam Recipe made with less sugar than a traditional preserve, an easy Cherry Compote, and an Apple Tarte Tatin with a dark caramel syrup. There’s also an airy Dark Chocolate Mousse and a refreshing Cantaloupe Sorbetto con Panna. Tip: in jams and sorbets, sugar does more than sweeten. It helps jam set and keeps sorbet smooth and scoopable, so cutting too much can leave you with a runny jam or an icy sorbet.
