Good morning..how did you get the sorghum syrup to be a dark brown color

@historicalsocietyofwashing5798 17 күн бұрын

It naturally turns that color as it is cooked down.

I would love to come sometime during the sorghum season and watch the operation… I have not seen the process since I was a kid… ( roughly 70 years ago)

Weather permitting, they expect to harvest the sorghum Sept. 23 and cook it and sell it on the 24th. Cost is $8 a pint.

I’m born and raised in Virginia (zone 7b).... and I have some beautiful new sweet sorghum seeds, to plant next spring. I actually have 2 different types... one that supposed to grow in 45 days, mainly used for gains. I’m learning as much as I can, about this amazing food!

Hi there! Please, this is the Sweet sorghum type, right? If yes... it is possible to extract "juice", just like it is done with sugar cane? IF YES, the taste is somewhat similar to the sugar cane juice one...? IF yes, SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, man!!!

@historicalsocietyofwashing5798 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely.

@user-sk6ch9jo9c 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! So, the "juice" extracted has similar taste if compared to the one extracted from sugar cane, is that correct? Here in Brazil, they are making an alcoholic beverage direct from the fermented juice extracted from the Sorghum, very similar to the one from sugar cane, and solid sugar candy bars as well (and regular "powder" sugar as well). But the weird part is that we consume LOTS of sugar cane juice here in Brazil, but as much as I hear that People are using even more and more Sorghum here with similar products, NO ONE EVER tells about the juice extracted from the Sorghum for drinking purposes (and, believe me, I ask A LOT). Thank you so much for answering, All the Best!

I look forward to seeing more. I’m originally from VA and have family in Washington co and try to come back every year. I miss so much the roots, traditions and values of my beloved home. I’m so thankful for the people preserving historic processes like this. Thank you so much.

Very nice video, well made . Those Earthway planters are the best way for smaller crops. I live in a log cabin, cook syrup in a stainless pot , and use the same filters, look this up on you tube, (sugar cane syrup making in central Alabama). I tried to grow Sorghum a couple of times but the sugar cane aphid ruined it every time , the poison to kill them cost too much, so I have to stay with sugar cane.

Thank you. It was fun doing it - good people, all volunteers, and very dedicated to what they do.
