Sugar Recipes

Though it is definitely a popular ingredient in baked goods and desserts, sugar is also used when cooking meats, veggies, sauces, and more. Check out some of our favorite recipes that use sugar- from sweet treats like S'mores Cookie Cups, Homemade Apricot Syrup, and Glazed Donut Muffins to Meatloaf Minis, Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef, and Garlic Pork Stir Fry.
