Week # 7- 25 lbs of Sugar

Week # 7: 25 lbs of Sugar (2 people- adjust accordingly)
(If you can’t accomplish this in 1 week, don’t worry, just take your time and do it in steps.)

Sugar:

In addition to basic staples, sugar is recommended as part of a balanced diet and to provide carbohydrates. Duringdepressed times, treats made with sugar can actually help provide a mental uplift. Follow the steps below to have a supply of sugar ready when you need it most.

1. Prepare storage containers. Make sure all inner surfaces are clean and dry.  See more info about packaging recommendations at ProvidentLiving.org.
2. Fill containers with sugar. Fill foil pouches to 80% of volume.  DO not use oxygen packs!!
3. Seal containers. For foil pouches, use an impulse heat sealer. Make sure the seal is tight. A second seal can be applied if desired. For jars, make sure the gasket on the lid is in good condition. Close the jar tightly. 

Note: Moisture makes granulated sugar hard and lumpy. Once this happens, there is no way to adequately restore it. Store powdered sugar in a cool, dry location (not the refrigerator). When it gets moist, it develops lumps. And because of its physical properties, it tends to absorb strong odors – it can even absorb odors through the package.
