Dissolve the sugar in water, and pass the mixture through a filter paper.
The sulphur will stay in the filter paper, and the sugar will go through with the water.
The solution can then be evaporated if necessary.

Dissolve the mixture in water and the sulfur will separate out. The sugar will come out as solution and can be recrystallised by evaporation / boiling.

Place the mixture in warm water and stir. As Sulphur isn't soluble in water and sugar is, the Sulphur can then be filtered out of the solution. Then, either distill the filtered solution or simply place it in a container in a warm place until all the water has evaporated leaving the sugar behind in the container.

They never appear together in nature so best is to go buy a new bag of sugar : )
Okay Okay you want to do it the hard way.
Dump the mixture in water and stir it into a slurry. Sugar is very soluble in water while sulfur is practically insoluble in water. Pass the slurry through a filter, the undissolved sulfur will not pass through.
