Making Sorghum Molasses~ From Field to the Jar

We did it!! Praise the Lord! The sorghum molasses is in the jars and we couldn't be more excited! Now you can spend a few minutes watching the days harvesting the cane to cooking down the syrup. Beautiful brown nutritious sorghum syrup that is called "molasses" around here.
Thank you for watching

Oh my gosh, what a flashback - I'm 63, and I recall when I was around 8 or 10, grandpa making his sorghum molasses. He had a mule or a horse, I forget, who walked in circles to press the canes, but otherwise it was the same process. It was a long day or two until we got a taste - but he made the prettiest golden sorghum I've ever seen. It's all so much darker and more bitter, what I find these days. But sometimes... I get lucky and find some *almost* as good as his, and mash it with a little butter and spread it on bread and remember when.

[@miraclefarm1927]

We are looking at a small mill now we hope to restore and pull with our horse. Great memory. Blessings

My grand father had a sorghum mill and he passed away when I was 5 years old. I am 80 years old now. I remember he had cans of saorghum cans lined up on the front porch. People from miles away would come and buy from him. I have not found molasses as good as his. I still remember how good his tasted. I hope you and your family has a wonderful and blessed week.

I remember as a child (5) my dad took me to the farm where molasses was being made. He and I loved molasses on my mom's biscuits with butter. The cane was being cooked in a big, round, iron pot with green bubbles coming up with a donkey attached to the stirrer just going around in circles. I can't remember if it was cooked all night. That was in Eleanor, West Virginia in 1950. We went back another time to buy the jars of black molasses. I can just taste it now.

When I was a kid a friend of mine ‘s parents made molasses. They had an old Steam Powered tractor ( as kids we thought it was a train engine) and we’d all go out to their farm when harvest time was there and cut and squeeze it with a big press like this one . Glad to see someone is still doing it the old way ( well , without the steam engine) with lots of family hands on.

That's the best-looking sorghum I've seen in awhile I love growing it... I think that's the greatest alternative food for your chickens food for yourself don't know why people don't want to think like that but we got to go back to that real quick like...

[@iluminameluna]

I used to raise my own poultry, just a half acre piece of land where my house sat, and all I ever feed them was sorghum. Those hens laid some amazing eggs! They mostly scratched all day, but every midmorning they'd get a good helping of their feed, and whatever they left was taken up by whatever birds were around. Anyway, the eggshells took some doing to crack, the yolk was a deep yellow, and everyone that tried our eggs said they tasted so rich. I haven't been able to eat eggs or any fowl for a long time, so I can't say, but I know that my baking with eggs is asked for by my family and friends quite regularly especially my enriched dough breads like brioche and challa. As you can probably tell, I do a lot of cooking from scratch, it's the healthiest way to live. I use lard for cooking when it suits better than butter, I even use it to make soap, and I use molasses, any kind, to make it give better suds. I wish I lived in an area where sorghum was grown. I'd be buying the molasses and the sorghum for making my own flour, and popping the grain to make popped treats with the molasses! So good!

[@donstallard8303]

That was the way me and my family made them back in the hills of Appalachian mountains of southwest va. Made them for about 12 or 15 years. Old age caught up with us had to quit

It is nice to see someone still using a Ford tractor. The first vehicle I learned to drive was a Ford Jubilee on my grandfathers farm in Irwin County, Ga when I was 12. I also ate a lot of sugar cane when I was a boy. Me and my trusty Barlow, which I always had in my pocket. I am surprised you did not cut the cane down with a sickle side cutter on that little Ford. We did not cut down tobacco with an axe. We picked it and put it in sleds to take to the tobacco barn. I know because I pulled the sleds. It was then tied to tobacco stick and hung in the tobacco barn. He never grew any sigh I’m that I remember.

[@miraclefarm1927]

Thank you! Yes a lot of people cut theirs with a sickle mower (we cut hay with ours) With no more than we have it's easier to cut it while it is standing so we don't have to pick it up and untangle from the ground. Blessings

Boyd Napier, my grandfather (b1912), was known in West Virginia as the best Molasses producer throughout the state and beyond. In fact, each year Bob Evans would send a car to pick him up to travel to his farm in Ohio to produce Molasses at his annual fair.

[@raywhitehead730]

In Brownsboro, Texas, on my Grandparents farm, a "Stand" of sugar Sorghum near the Kickapoo creek bottom would be grown each year. In this case about two acres, was a stand. Strip and harvest was on day. The next day was press and boil and can. Neighbors from a nearby Baptist church would help. The second day was in conjunction with food bought by all. The molasses was devided up. A large portion went to the church for auction. Proceeds from the auction went for upkeep of the church.

[@miraclefarm1927]

What a great story! That had to be a lot of molasses. Did you have more than one cooking? That's a lot of juice to put in a pan. Blessings

[@raywhitehead730]

@@miraclefarm1927 Sorry, I don't remember much more then that. But I do remember that there were multiple vats to cook down the juice, and cooking day started early and lasted long. Grandad loved his molasses and biscuits.... So do I. In my granddads youth, they had no "store Bought" candy...so that was a treat taken up by molasses. Honey was way to expensive over home made molasses. He was born in 1900, before electricity got to the farm. And before the first airplane.

I know my grand parents made sorghum molasses but at 73 I have only ever seen a sorghum press work once and it was powered by a mule. They did not boil down the juice at old timers event I went to. Although I grew up on a farm I never saw tall sorghum grown, the only sorghum that grew was bicolored sorghum they only harvested the heads for animal feed.

[@BuickDoc]

Back in the late 1940's I watched my GP make ribbon cane syrup by a similar process, but his process was more continuous. He had one table made of 1/4 steel plate, 3" wide and 15" long with 3" 'fencing' on the edge, creating a huge flat long pot. Wood fires were set under the table. The juice was fed into one end and syrup came out the other end by gravity flow. Guys with wooden paddles kept scraping and stirring the juice as it boiled, to avoid scorching.

I know that is a lot of work and makes for some long days. But you are making some very good memories with your family. There are a lot of ways and techniques for making sorghum. I suppose the only right way is the one that is right for you. After making sorghum for many years, I am partial to the evaporator pan as opposed to the batch cooking pan. I have used a machete or even wood laths for stripping the cane. When the weather is conducive, cane can be cut and left laying on the ground for a week. I think it makes better sorghum when done this way. We would stack the cane crosswise of the wagon and then take a chainsaw and cut the heads off at one time. The top 2 to 3 feet of the cane has very little sweet juice. We still have three sorghum mills and your video brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for the video!

A lot of manual labor. Reminds me of our first couple years on the farm. To fill silo, we had an old belt driven Blizzard chopper/blower. All the corn and sorgum were cut with hooked corn knives, loaded in a side wall wagon and hauled to the barnyard. Dad and my brother fed the chopper/blower and I was in the silo packing it all down tight. Made some sweet smelling silage. While we worked, the cows would stand at the barnyard gate bellowing for samples.

I didn’t know that molasses can be made from sorghums until watching this video. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video

[@miraclefarm1927]

That is very kind of you to say, thank you.

Some hot buttermilk biscuits and salmon patties would go PERFECT with your molasses. Y’all made that with love❤️
