Store it in a plastic bag that closes tightly. (I use a
store brand equivalent of Baggies (TM). Most store brands have
better "zippers".) Alternatively, buy the two lb. size that
comes in its own plastic bag (not a box) and be sure to
**always** close it tightly, all air squeezed out. It will
"lump" but it won't dry out so the lumps are easily broken
down.

To resurrect, place a very wet paper towel in a plastic bag
(do NOT zip the top) and place the plastic bag in with the
brown sugar for a couple of days. (The water should NOT get on
the sugar directly, just create a lot of humidity in the sugar
container.)
