Canning Brown Sugar runs the risk of developing Botulism. <br>Here is what they say: "Products intended for longer-term storage (20–30 years or more) must (a) be low in oil content to avoid rancidity and (b) have about 10% or less moisture content to prevent microbial growth.<br>Warning: Botulism poisoning may result if moist products are stored in packaging that reduces oxygen (for example, cans, foil pouches, or bottles with oxygen absorber packets)."

I have a few pounds stored just in the plastic bags they come in. I am planning to store molasses and make my own brown sugar out of my stored white sugar if it comes down to it in an emergency. This makes more sense for me since we don't use a lot of brown sugar. I actually haven't canned my brown sugar. I have a few pounds stored just in the plastic bags they come in.
