- Excellent video. 👍👍
- twd brought me here
- This would have been so much better if you gave a narrative instead of this annoying music.
- Nice Video!  Where did you get the cane press?
- Good video.  How you gonna run the press without electric?  Yeah, you don't need to turn the jars over, they'll seal without it.  My grandma always thought you had to do that and some folks only do it because they'd always done so and really don't know why so they contine.  To the one asking, no, the syrup is high enough in sugar content it doesn't have to be sealed with a mason lid.  It keeps fine in tins, oldtimers often put it up in what we called molasses buckets.   Technically, however, contrary to what the vidoe says, you did not make molasses.  You made sorghum syrup.  Molasses comes as a byproduct of making sugar from sugar cane, and not from sorghum.  Sorghum syrup, buddy! ;)
- The reason for turning the jars is so the seals will get hot enough to seal the jar.
- Thanks...
- that is my problem. have several colonial setups around me in North Carolina. but nobody has a press. I am going to have to create one.
- THUMBS DOWN FOR THE NOISE
- Did you save the skimmings to make some wine or beer? What do you get for a qt of molasses or syrup.. Let us know. We would like some. If you decide to make any more, we would like a qt of cane juice. Eddie was raised in South Fl and his family made cane syrup every yr.
- Very cool and I loved the music
- i really do not know, it is my father in laws, i wasn't a big fan of turning the jars over but they insisted,
- Jack Spirko was just talking about this sorghum on the survival podcast! dang oh this is cool. They Say sorghum is far better than sugar. Sugar was cheaper, now corn syrup is even cheaper but horrible for you.
- Very cool, how much do y'all have invested in that processing equipment and do you have to put ball mason style sealing lid (I imagine the lids would seal them selves as the molasses cooled) or do you just use a screw top? I bet that the particulates that you and your partners were skimming off would make a great supplement to feed, that or deer bait!
- Well you can always make one.
- Interesting video Colonel!!
- Love the music!
- this cane a not as sweet as sugar cane.
- Thanks so much for the info we are looking to do sorghum on our farm but had no idea how! God bless!
- Beautiful. Growing up in Asia, I loved drinking Sugar Cane juice. It is literally the best non-alcoholic liquid refreshment in the world. I only wish cane were more abundant and I had a press, here in Texas. There is cane, I just have to get a press.
