    I grew up on a farm in the midwest. What's the difference between syrup and sorghum ?

    • @hollyelliott9625
      @hollyelliott9625 Год назад +3

      Sorghum IS a syrup; just like honey. But most folks know it as molasses. Many old timers called it molasses.
      In fact, molasses is made from sugar cane, which doesn't grow this far north in Tennessee. So we have sorghum cane, looking like corn in the field and processed by boiling down the juice of the stalks which turns into a thick, golden syrup. It takes about 10 gallons of juice to make a gallon of the sticky, sweet syrup.
