Do you enjoy the rich and mildly sweet taste of fresh sorghum? Have you ever wondered how it is made? Well, join us and wonder no more!
Wow, this process is so neat. Old fashioned way to make sorghum. It was a pleasure to watch. Thanks.
The smell of it has to be incredibly sweet, would love to have some to make molasses cookie's. Remember eating it as a kid when we had a barrel for livestock feed.
LOL....I've eaten my share of livestock feed. Yes, it smells fantastic!
Very effective way
Thanks for efforts... hlpd me a lot.
Wow this clean but I never taste this we cannot get in Asia
The comments and the little girl smiling at the end is worth the time.
Yep, super cute.
Rob - I noticed the little girl smiling happy in her hard work.
Very informative, thank you.
Thank you for sharing.🙂
looks delicious
Interesting different use of "sorghum". In the UK we use that to describe a grain. We would refer to this as "sweet sorghum".
Have seen a woman wearing a bonnet since seeing my grandmother wearing one in the 1950s to the very early 1970s. She was very fair complected and never went out in the sun without her bonnet. Wish I knew what happened to them. Young people nowadays don’t have a clue about this
Thank you great information.
Glad it was helpful!
I would love to go there and put some of this fresh made sorghum on some fresh home made biscuits and some pancakes. Thank you for posting this. It's been a long time since I had some sorghum or molasses taste better than regular syrup.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Yosef Aldo Instablaster =)
@Brodie Enrique Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brodie Enrique It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Yosef Aldo Happy to help :)

If you go to the store and buy molasses unless it says sorghum molasses it is probably made with sugar cane. Nothing tastes like sorghum molasses. Both my parents grew up eating it, so you know all their children did. Always on biscuits, no sliced, store bought bread at our house.
3:53 just like a evaporator for making maple syrup.
we made sorghum on our place for home use only. We did not have an evaporative pan my dad made one from 2x6s and a sheet of metal. He made a firebox from rock and used clay for the mortar. I know was hot work I had to pull fire every time when it had cooked . Only good sorghum I have had since we made it came from Kentucky. Most so called sorghum I have seen has cane syrup added. To me a very sulfuric taste
Those were the days...
Cane syrup doesn't have a sulfur taste. Sugar beet molasses has sulfur.
To make good sorghum molasses you need to strip the cane .
That was great to see
It was even more fun to record it!
@@DannaGesellchen I’m definitely jealous. It snowed all day yesterday where I am. Not weather to enjoy the outdoors.
@@phil16woman64 Spring will come! 🙂
have not seen a sun bonet in many years my grany was never without bonnet and copenhgen

Fascinating... Pity there is no CC for us hard of hearing...
So sorry!
Thank you for this nice video.. and the best thing about it is hygiene.. Please can this method be used to cook sugar cane? (sugar cane molasses)
I would think so. I assisted in making cane syrup as a teen and the cooking method is similar but not so sophisticated.
@@DannaGesellchen Thank you for your interest in responding.. Are there factories that sell equipment like this one in the video? I am from Egypt and I want to buy sugar cane molasses processing equipment in a way that maintains hygiene.. Can you help me with that?
@@sayedmohamed2430 I am very sorry, sir, but I know nothing about the equipment or where to obtain it.
@@DannaGesellchen Thank you very much.. Greetings and again thank you 🌹❤️
Is there anywhere you can buy the piece that cooks the sorghum?
I'm not sure, but you could contact Showalter's in Liberty to find out. We don't live there anymore.
I think that may have been put together by themselves with sheet metal.
As a citizen of Kentucky , I'd like to get some of this fine sorghum. Website or address? Do they sell in any grocery stores in southeast ky. London,corbin,barbourville, Middleboro?
Greetings Mr. Hoskins. The owner of the mill told me they don't advertise widely because they'd never be able to meet the demand. I do know that you can find his sorghum in all the local Mennonite stores. You might look up: Dutchman's, Laverne's, Sunny Valley, all in Liberty, KY, as options to locate some. Happy eating! :-)
Tyvm for the information I will do do some searching and if need be ,in due time drive to liberty to get some .
@@DannaGesellchen Are those the same Mennonite stores you got your Border Collie's dog food from?🤔😉🐶❤
Very cool vid!😁👍
came for the thumb nail of wheels on the tractor, but found the whole process interesting. The "cooking" process reminds me of maple syrup making. How does the final product compare to honey or maple syrup ? thanks.
To me it has a richer, heavier flavor than either honey or maple syrup. Me? I prefer maple of the three, but what’s to argue? They’re all yummy!!
@@DannaGesellchen thank you for the quick reply.
I don't quite understand the Amish. Some don't use electricity in their houses or tractors for plowing but when it comes to making money, they tend to bend the rules and use electricity at their convenience. I believe there is a word for that.
While I can understand your perplexity, it can be at least partially solved by understanding one thing. There is a difference between an Amish and a Mennonite. These are Mennonites. Old order or Schwartzentruber Amish do not use electricity. Many of the Mennonites do.
fascinating process! I viewed a different channel last night and asked if there is equipment to reduce the labor needed to produce sorghum molasses. Now, what I’d like to know is if the equipment in your video was designed and built by the owners or if it is purchased “pre-designed” from a manufacturer specializing in this kind of product processing?
I don’t know the answer to that question, unfortunately.
Is this on your farm?
No. It is in the Southfork Mennonite community near us.
This is basically syrup?
Yep
their leaving the leaves(fodder) as its called all I have ever seen had all of it striped off im thinking very very bitter syurp I don't think I would want any
grillmasterone it’s actually quite sweet
I had heard the leaves need removed too but bought some this year and it's the best sorghum I ever had.
@@lennb8874 I ran some sorghum through a silage cutter in the field, then ran it through a mill and delivered the juice to a syrup maker. He said it was as good as any stripped cane he ever made.
@@lennb8874 maybe you've never had good .
I don'nt see why this system wouldn't work for maple syrup. or am I missing something?
Logan Leslie I guess someone else in the community will have to address that. It makes sense to me, but I have no experience with maple syrup. As many maples as there are in Kentucky it’s worth a try at least.
@@DannaGesellchen thanks
Maple has to come from sap in the spring it's a short period complicated by temperature which isn't a good thing in this time of ours early season is the sweetest then it gets darker less sweeter the old guy I made it with said he liked it better but I think he just didn't want to stop you can't chop up a maple to get the sap but the equipment is similar.evaperators hydrometer etc
@@DannaGesellchen A few years ago, some friends of my Dad's made maple syrup from the sap of the ubiquitous Big Leaf Maples 🍁of Western Washington. It was just as good as the syrup from Vermont sold in the stores! Definitely had its own distinct taste, but just as good!
I've even heard of Birch Syrup from Minnesota and Wisconsin. I've never tried that, but I'd like to!😊
@@robertsandberg2246 I have also seen ''Poplar'' and ''Hickory'' syrup as well, I have no clue to production process or other added ingredients, but it sounds interesting as well.
The wet or dry Sorghum stalks are good for the sheep they love it. check it out here ruclips.net/video/nIr_A7L1Wks/видео.html
Nice RxR jack.
Never saw anyone eat some? Why? Is it nasty stuff to eat?
Lol... it’s quite tasty, actually! I guess I forgot the taste test part!
Amish... Lol!
Nice new machinery and a a brand new tractor with steel wheels to "prove" they are amish.
Amazing.
Actually, they are not Amish at all. They are Mennonites.
@@DannaGesellchen Hmm? what is that?
Someone better than me. Prove me wrong!
