Molasses anyone?
I got hold of some good cane molasses last weekend and then forgot about them until tonight. I prefer dark strong molasses and these are a bit light, but pretty daggone good with butter and toast or biscuits or cornbread.
A " 'lassey run-off" use to be one of the fun things about fall. The horse-powered cane press, boiling the stuff day and night sometimes, with everyone in the neighborhood gathering to sop the pan with a cane stalk. Those were some fun times.....
I just wondered if anyone else round here likes molasses too...

Re: Molasses anyone?
I adore molasses! And I prefer the dark stuff too. I particularly like it on pancakes.cowtime wrote:I got hold of some good cane molasses last weekend and then forgot about them until tonight.

I've seen them. They're very cute but MEAN little animals, liable to bit you and scratch you a million times if they can.
Speaking of which, never mind their noses and asses. Look at those CLAWS! They're blades (or shovels).

Back to topic, I love molasses too. I remember the horse-powered thing. It's where the horses are chained up and walk around in a big wooden circle, while this thing comes from the ceiling and grinds molasses, right? I might remember the wrong thing...

It is great to add to meal-in-a-muffins.
See all about it here.
Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of manganese and copper. It is a very good source of iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. In addition, blackstrap molasses is a good source of vitamin B6 and selenium.

-Missed fresh molasses, but had a horse-drawn sleigh ride through Grandpa's snowed-up Ontario town as a kid. A treat, as were deep-snow hikes on ash-and-rawhide snowshoes.
