I have a recipe that calls for melting margarine, adding brown sugar, and boiling a few minutes before pouring it over matzah boards. The problem is that the margarine separates, and the brown sugar never totally dissolves.

3While this technically isn't specific to [passover], I'm adding that tag because passover recipes have you doing all kinds of crazy things with margarine. – Aaronut Apr 11 '12 at 0:04

1What kind of brown sugar are you using? I can imagine granulated sugar not dissolving, but soft brown/demerara should dissolve without a problem. – ElendilTheTall Apr 11 '12 at 8:54

maybe start the sugar off with a few drops of water to get it to dissolve? The boiling off, I am guessing, is to lose all the water from the marg so that bit extra will evap too. – Pat Sommer Apr 12 '12 at 10:57

Is this specific to passover? I thought people learned long ago not to use margarine for anything. – Rob Oct 6 '12 at 2:25

I assume we are making candy or fudge. Heat the brown sugar first when you have it to temperature, stir in the margarine off the heat then pour it.

I just had the problem 2 batches in a row. The 3rd time, I made sure that the margarine was at room temp (not directly from the fridge). I then started heating at a low temp instead of medium so that it heated more slowly. This batch worked perfectly
