Seasoned Advice Asked by jbrahy on July 13, 2021
Do I add sugar? So many people have told me they put sugar in their seasoning and I don’t understand why. What does sugar provide to this recipe and how much should I experiment with?
This is the recipe in progress.
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Cayenne Powder
Prepare Garlic
Prepare Onion
Prepare Cayenne Peppers
Dehydrator
Oven Dehydration
When the dehydration process is complete, then grind each of the spices into their own bowls and measure out 1 Tbsp of each.
Place all ingredients together in a medium bowl and then seal in an air-tight container.
I use 3 Tbsp of the mix per lb of anything I want to mix it in with.
If there’s anything that I’m missing, please let me know. It tastes great to me, but if I can make the ritual better, I’m all about it. I just typed this out from my memory as most of my recipes come from imagination.
You will find that adding sugar to some recipes is controversial and highly subjective.
Me, I almost never add sugar in situations like yours. But sugar can do something valuable: decrease bitterness.
I knew an Italian woman many years ago that made the best "gravy" (tomato sauce) and her secret? A pinch or two of sugar, she claimed it made her sauce less bitter. Whatever her secret I tried the sugar thing and found no discernible difference between the gravy with sugar and the same recipe without.
But again that is subjective, EG literally "a matter of taste."
Try your recipe both with and without sugar, and decide for yourself.
