Using Manual Sugarcane Juicer To Make Sorghum Syrup
Просмотров 2194 месяца назад
Affiliate link to juicer: amzn.to/3B12xFu Mesh Bags: amzn.to/3To4sdy I bought this juicer press to squeeze my sorghum stems this year and it worked out really well so I thought I'd share the process with everyone. I grew a small patch of Dale sorghum again for making my own homemade syrup. Great for off grid homesteader sugar production.
Making Sorghum Syrup Using Only a Cheap Juicer
Просмотров 7299 месяцев назад
This was my first time making sorghum syrup and it turned out great. It's usually made using a large roller press but I decided to make do with a slow/cold press/auger style juicer I have. It's a lot of work but totally doable. Sorghum syrup tastes about like molasses and can be used in place of maple, honey or agave in any recipe. Very drought tolerant crop, easy to grow and sustainable. Great...
Growing, Harvesting and Eating Maypop (Hardy Passion Fruit)

Growing, Harvesting and Eating Maypop. Also known as hardy passion fruit or passiflora incarnata, purple passionflower and wild passion vine. I finally harvested a few in my northern organic garden and decided to film it. Let me know what you think. Also tell me in the comments if you grow or ever tasted them. Some links are paid affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my dream! Passiflora seeds...

    When you say plants from different seeds, does it matter if the seeds themselves may have come from the same fruit?

    I can't wait to process mines, it's not quite ready yet. I was going to juice mine but I think I will invest in one of those sugarcane juicers. do you think that's what made the difference in the flavor? also how did you know when to harvest?

    • @NorthTropics
      @NorthTropics 2 месяца назад

      Yeah I think this press made a really big difference. An auger style juicer like I used last year squeezed it too hard leaving too much wax, sediment and fiber. I'll be growing an even bigger patch next year as this made it much faster and less work to press too. If you are saving seed, wait for the seed to dry out. If you only care about getting the best syrup from the stems, you can cut them with the seeds are still soft or milky when you squeeze the grain. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the creative tip. We tried this out. It works, but definitely not ideal considering the amount of sorghum we're growing. The ~$250 cane juicer on Amazon may be our next stop, if we keep expanding.

    • @NorthTropics
      @NorthTropics 4 месяца назад

      I had the exact same thought. I just made syrup this year using one of those cane presses and I just put up a video of how it worked out if you're curious. I really liked it and I plan on growing a much larger patch of sorghum next year. Thanks for looking.

      Yeah you should try it, it's an amazing crop. Very fast growing and doesn't need watered in most contexts. I'm growing a few varieties of sorghum this year. Dale again for syrup, and I bought a proper press. I'm also growing a few shorter grain varieties I plan on trying to cook and see how it tastes.

    Very good. Do you have a green house? I was going to get a cheap popup greenhouse and use my own version of a Chinese green house blanket with some grow lights in winter. I was thinking the butterfly garden in greenhouse could pollinate all year round. Maypop have friterlary (so) butterfly

    • @NorthTropics

      I didn't have a greenhouse at the time of making this video, I do now. The maypop is rock solid just in the ground without any protection for me still. Hoping with the greenhouse to have better look with more tropical passion fruits though.

    Здравствуйте! Я купила в магазине плод маракуйи, семена намочила в мокрой ткани. Больше месяца - ростков нет. Как долго ждать ростков?

    • @NorthTropics
      @NorthTropics 9 месяцев назад

      Я не рекомендую использовать бумажные полотенца для семян маракуйи. Иногда их бывает сложно прорастить. Я рекомендую поместить семена прямо в почву и поставить горшок на открытое летнее солнце. Что-то о солнечном свете и смене темперпарета со дня на ночь действительно помогает многим тропическим семенам прорасти. Удачи! I don't recommend using paper towels for passion fruit seeds. They can sometimes be a bit tricky to sprout. I recommend putting the seeds right into potting soil and putting the pot outside in the full summer sun. Something about the sunlight and change of temperature from day to night really helps a lot of tropical seeds sprout. Good luck!

    I was given a maypop about 6 years ago. I get a few flowers every year but not a single fruit. I live in NJ and have honeybees on my property. What am I doing wrong? It’s not very big. I mulch it and it does completely die back every year. Second question - I just happened across a house a few blocks away that is going up for sale that has massive maypop vines with tons of plump green fruit - can I pick it green off the vine and let it ripen off vine? I won’t have access to the vine later in season when they ripen.
