How to Make Molasses at Home - 3 homemade grades of molasses

[@fugenturkoglu]

I came here for a molasses recipe. For me, it is surprisingly a beautiful cultural documentary. I have always heard of sugar cane, I saw the pictures but never cut or shaved. It was amazing how all those juices came out from a hard-looking stick. Thank you for explaining the procedure in detail. All the best.

[@OnyxFoodHill]

I'm so glad it helped, thank you for watching

Cane syrup is available everywhere in America.

[@SoCalRonnie]

Loved munching on sugar cane as a kid.

[@PeopleOfArarat]

What a great video! Thank you very much, Miss! Your demonstration and explanation is excellent! This is how my family made molasses when I was a kid, but we never used a grater and we certainly never owned a blender. Dad was in charge of chopping and hammering the canes. Then I got to stand there and stir the pot. It was labor-intensive, but most everything was in those days, and we only made syrups about once a year. Like making soap or sausages or pickles, it was a kind of a fun household event. And I taught my own kids. Too many parents don't bother teaching basic homesteading skills to kids anymore. I hope they will find your video and try! Thanks again and congratulations on a fine video!

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Thanks you so much for your nice comments I sincerely appreciate, and I'm glad to bring back those fun childhood memories.

[@jolachgh]

@@OnyxFoodHill Hello ^^ amazing video, I wish I lived a place were sugar cane can grow XD I have a question. As far as I thought Molasses was a byproduct of sugar extraction? and the B and C grade molasses was the result of the extra boiling to extract more sugar. How does that function in this process? I mean how would you get sugar crystals our of this boiling process? best wishes -Jonas ^^

[@maggotman4484]

@@jolachgh as you boil the cane juice, the water is evaporating and the sugar:water ratio will become higher. if all the fluids were evaporated, you would get sugar crystals. molasses is just more dense cane juice that usually contains 50-70% sugar

[@OnyxFoodHill]

You can produce any stage you want.

[@blisterphish490]

Great video, I have a question, maybe a dumb one. When spooning off the grade b molasses prior to last phase , how do you know what to spoon off? is there a clear difference in the material color or texture? I was not able to identify what exactly was being removed. Thank you.

[@OnyxFoodHill]

When making molasses, you have to know what stage you really want from the beginning. If the grade B molasses was what you need, then once you reach that level, simply stop. You don't have to move to the final stage of having blackstrap. Their differences lie in their taste and consistency. Grade A is a syrup with a yellowish color and taste sweet and aromatic. Grade B is thicker and has a slightly darker color (dark brown in color) and has a mixture of sweet and bitter taste. Grade C - blackstrap is purely black and very thick (because most of the water content has been removed) and it is totally bitter (though it has concentration of the nutrients). You can read more in the description box.

[@jackie9068]

It is used for upper respiratory with leaf of life or during second term pregnancy when iron is low due to distribution volume and baby need more iron.

I have been searching for blackstrap molasses recipe for years. Once got a little quantity from a local sugar manufacturer but after that they refused to supply me when I asked for more. In India, you mostly get sulphured molasses because they try to process sugarcanes even out of season and then sell it for cattle feed and for alcohol production. I don't have words to express how grateful I am to you, for this recipe. I hope I will be able to make it soon. Just one question, did you cook the whole time on medium heat or did you use low flame for grade C?

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Thank you so much dearie for your kind words. I'm really glad you got the recipe for sugarcane molasses at last. I cooked it on medium heat all through the whole time but reduced the heat towards the last stage because it hardens up too quickly before the dark molasses will have the chance to form. You can also add a little amount of water towards the last stage if yours thickens up too quickly. Keep cooking it gradually on low heat and stir intermittently until it changes into the final stage.

Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea before how to make molasses but tried to follow your recipe using 0.5L. I tried to follow your timings but my grade A is far too thick as I allowed it to foam so will adjust on my next attempt (suspect lower volume or heat too high). I am interested in grade A or grade C and assume if i stop the process after boil 1 then I can take all as grade A or alternatively I take nothing and continue with the 3 boiling steps and then only make grade C. Is my assumption correct?

[@OnyxFoodHill]

Very correct. Whatever grade you need after grade A, add water and continue heating.

[@lukejones1244]

I thought molasses was the left over substance after they extract the sugar. But I didnt see you extract any of the sugar.

[@OnyxFoodHill]

When you have a very large batch, you can cool it off and extract any sugar crystals formed as a result of saturation. In this case, the sugarcane juice is not large enough, therefore no saturation, which means sugar crystals will not form but that will not stop the molasses from being made. I hope this helps. Thanks

[@Instrumentation-Control-Eng]

More concentrated juice results in crystallization.

[@VickysTuition]

The greenish residue you are scoping @ 5:13 is the sugar of the cane juice ?? If so, in the later stages of cooking also we find lots of foam coming up .. do we need to scoop them out also??

[@OnyxFoodHill]

The greenish residue is to be discarded. Later stages of cooking will be foamy when the water content is reducing, no need of scooping the foam, just turn off heat to cool off, then continue cooking or simply add water and continue cooking until you have the stage you are looking for.

Should I just mix some in a cup of warm water maybe heat it n ad some to the non black strip molasses ? To make sure I got some of what I need ? Next month when theirs more c’s money n money in debt card to pay for the shipping I’ll buy a bigger liquid bottle .
