A piece of terra cotta keeps brown sugar from solidifying, just drop it into the container. If it tastes ok, I’d take a mortar and pestle to it and just grind the hell out of the sugar block.

Add a slice of apple and wait a couple days, it'll be fine. The only time you know brown sugar's stale is by tasting it. If it tastes stale, it's very old. Brown sugar lasts a long time if it's kept out of the sun, dust, bugs and animals. Brown sugar tastes wonderful in chai tea. Use brown sugar in homemade sweet and sour. Use brown sugar in hummingbird feeders (if you get them). It also makes awesome peanut brittle! Brown sugar doesn’t lump because it’s too moist, it lumps because it’s too dry.

I would suggest a strong plastic bag and a hammer! Bash out any frustrations and you will have loose sugar again. While we are on the subject of sugar: Here is a tip for recycling honey that has gone solid. It just means it has been standing for a while. If the honey has got water in it and smells sort of strange (a kind of woody smell)throw it away. If honey gets water in it it will ferment and go off. If it has just gone sugary and solid it just needs melting. You can do it on a low setting in the microwave or place the sealed jar in a gently simmering pot of water. Honey keeps best out of the fridge. Yum, I love honey!! I guess the sugar got a little moist from the atmosphere. I would suggest a strong plastic bag and a hammer!

Or if you are using it in cooking then just add some water to the mixture and it will come out fine... hopefully Dissolve the sugar in warm water and evaporate the water afterwards.
