3 Types of Molasses:
1. GRADE 'A'
- Grade 'A' is also called First syrup, Cane syrup, Gold star, Light or Fancy Molasses. It has many names in different countries but you can easily identify it from the color and the taste. It is amber in color, or yellowish in appearance and has a very sweet taste.
It is used in sweetening of food, puddings, juices, pancakes, in making candies, making sugar syrup, for making sweets and drinks. Also used in making bread, crackers, and biscuits.
2. DARK MOLASSES
- This is also called grade 'B' molasses; this tastes slightly bitter with a sweet taste too but not as sweet as grade A (light or first syrup). It has a darker color than the first syrup. It is used for making recipes such as gingerbread cookies, molasses cookies, and pies.
3. BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES (Grade 'C')
- This is also known as Grade 'C'; it is like the king of all the syrups. Blackstrap molasses is dark, highly viscous (slow pouring), and bitter. It has all the benefits of sugarcane packed in it. It is rich in potassium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, and Vitamin B6; due to this, it is used as a dietary supplement and as an additive in making animal feeds.

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.

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 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 ^^

@goatman4484 2 жыл бұрын

@@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

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?

@blisterphish490 3 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

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.

My husband bought molasses the grandma brand I said to get black strapped.. he said they didn’t have it I found it in powder form on Walmart website that I could use my eBay card I’m using it for the chickens one has gleet and it my last attempt to cure it but all the birds are being wormed n I do want it around for anyone that needs to have it if they get poisoned that I suddenly realize also ... the worming is for three days before the next full moon but I want to have a tinny bit to their food to replace needed vit ... so how do I thicken up powder to in water to drizzle a tinny bit not to cause any more heavy poop but replace vit needed or add it to a few watterers I wrote down the watering down to add to watershed think it wash a tablespoon to a gallon i think or was it 16 oz to 5 gal of water ior something I can’t remember off the top of my head. 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 . I tried Amazon but non of it was ebt nor amazon prime for my discounted free delivery I’m suddenly bewildered the m sure it’s not corn starch to thicken like elderberry if it’s not thick when bought dies heat thicken powder?

Yeah, grade C is usually black and bitter. That is how it should be. It is used in recipes and not as a sweetener, so you shouldn't expect it to be sweet.
