Yes we do too have brown sugar, and Demerara sugar too. It is, or was, a quirk of US sugar laws that raw sugar is supposed to be refined to pure sugar and then have molasses whipped back in to make brown sugar.

I used to do that with our kitchen blender. I do it less nowadays. If you figure you need your brown sugar to get darker brown, blend in another tablespoon (15ml) of molasses to a cup of the stuff. Very molasses-laden brown sugar should be kept in a tight container.
