The cane can be rolled twice, or 3 times. There is still plenty of juice left in the husk after the first roll.

Brings back memories! When I was a kid in southern Indiana, there was a man in our area that had a little molasses mill just like the one pictured. He grew a small plot of cane and I remember a bunch of us (mostly from the little community Church) getting together for a day of fellowship, picnic and molasses making. I can still remember them letting us kids get a short stick of raw cane then drizzling the hot fresh molasses from the spout onto the cane for kind of a sweet treat lolly. We all took home a jar or two of that black gold and it was awesome! Sadly, I think the mill was taken down years ago...

I was watching a show that mentioned a Demijohn, and said they used to make Molasses in them... That sent me on a quest to find out "how" molasses was made. Thanks for this very interesting video. Would have loved it if you had added some commentary into the video so we knew why you were doing certain processes. The younger generation may love the quick trip to the store, but I personally believe a lot of the old ways are lost because they're just not handed down as often as they should be. Plenty of great enthusiasts around that absolutely prefer the old-fashioned way of making things. I'm assuming that's sugar cane? And that the cheese cloth filter at the end is at least 4 times folded? One thing this video doesn't show, is there a "curing" time or "maturing" time once the Molasses has been jarred so that it either tastes the best, or has the proper time to reach some consistency??? Thanks for the video Tom, it was awesome to watch...

That is the problem of schools and so called education. Just offload your learning expences onto tax payer,, we can learn everything by staring into books for four years. So we threw away apprenticeship programs and just hire people with the correct titles. The only problem is, it does not matter how many books you read on surgery, you are not a surgeon until you perform a surgery. And not one, but dozens and hundreds. It is crazy absurd. You lock people into profession they mostly knows nothing about, you lock people out off a profession because they cannot attend the correct school for what ever reason. You waste time and resources and people by forcing people to learn things they will never ever need. I mean, it might work with gender bender studies, but how exactly are you going to bring up construction workers and builders and leaders, you know, things that actualy matter? It is not that we have shortage of suitable people, we have a grave shortage of teachers. The society is unable to educate. Which is why you need all those foreign people to do that stuff, that they have learned by actualy doing the stuff, instead of looking into books. Books are important, but it is experience what matters. I do not think you can run a society this way. But what gives, the most important thing is to have free college.

Not sure how long they boil it. I know they go a lot by the way the color of the juice changes as it boils in the tray. It starts as a pale green color and gradually turns a light yellow, then finally a darker golden color when they pour it off into a holding chamber before finally pouring it into jars. It's really dark brown in the jar.

Ron Grey That design of the cooking tray... separating it into sections like that, in effect lengthens the distance the liquid has to travel during the cooking process.
