I use this for cooking all the time! This is the best!

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

It really is so good.

[@Retiredoneat60]

@@JohnnyontheTrail I have a really great marinade recipe if you want it.

[@Observer82AB]

My Dad had one of the only two sorghum mills in our area. We haven't used it since the early 70s though. I will probably sell it. Don't have the pan any longer or the skimmers. Just the mill.

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

Thats cool, it's almost a lost art. Bet you have a lot of great stories regarding the mill.

[@Observer82AB]

@@JohnnyontheTrail Man, I was so young it's hard to remember a lot. I couldn't make sorghum without someone showing me how. I remember most of it, but... definitely not an expert.

[@Francois_Dupont]

is this like sugarcane? you press and destroy the cane to get the juice, then boil the juice to make brown sugar?

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

Yes it's like sugarcane only in this region it's sorghum. They make a great product. They are at Cades Cove every year. Stop by and see this IRL and even get a taste of that sweet goodness.

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@JohnnyontheTrail thank you.

Hey Johnny when did you make this video

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

John Ball Hi John. I filmed it yesterday and edited it yesterday evening. I have a bigger project video that I’m still working on so this one came next since it was a fairly easy edit.

[@thekentuckian8375]

What time of the year do they come down to Cade’s Cove?

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

Generally in the autumn months. I believe they post the dates on their website.
