Grilled Brown Sugar Recipes

Grilling brown sugar isn't about charring sugar directly; it's about harnessing its unique properties to enhance grilled foods. The high, direct heat of the grill rapidly caramelizes brown sugar, creating a flavorful, lacquered crust. This process adds depth and a subtle smoky sweetness to proteins, fruits, and vegetables.
