    I feel like I read about a source for pearl sugar in Chicago, but forgot where I read it. Forgive me if I am duplicating a previous post, but I've searched and had no luck on the forum. Can anyone recommend a source for pearl sugar? Thanks

    Hi,

    I bought a box at IKEA a few years ago.

    Regards,

    This was just in the Tribune Food section recently:

    "Scandinavian cooks use these large granules of sugar to decorate baked goods, but they can deliver an extra sweetness to treats from any corner of the world. They're especially pretty now, adding a snowy motif to cookies, cakes and glazed pastries like cinnamon rolls. Another plus: The granules retain their appearance and will not melt in the oven. A 10-ounce box of Lars Own Swedish Pearl Sugar costs $4-$4.50 at Erickson's Delicatessen, 5250 N. Clark St., Sur La Table (52 E. Walton St. and 755 W. North Ave.) and scandiafood.com."

    Not sure if the search link would work, otherwise I would include it.

    IKEA is an inexpensive source for pearl sugar.

    Yes that is where I read it! Thanks for the reminder. I will check IKEA since that is the closest to me.
