	I've found that the best way to 'restore' the sugar is to prevent
it from lumping in the first place.  I buy brown sugar in plastic bags,
rather than in the boxes.  If you seal it well, it won't lump.  I have
some brown sugar that is over 6 months old (I know, but I really only
cook/bake in the summer!).  It is just as un-lumpy as when I bought it.

	If you can only get the stuff in boxes, get a zip-loc baggie
and seal the brown sugar in it. (you don't even *have* to use a zip-loc
bag--just grab some of the plastic ones from the produce department,
and use a rubber band to seal it in)

These ramblings are my own, and are surely not those of my employer.
