    Megan and Andy, you two are great workers together. you both are such hard workers. I am from Louisiana born and reared by many a canefields. My daughter has a friend in Missouri and she brought back some sorghgum Syrup and prefer it to cane syrup. I just stumbled upon your channel and I binge watch. Your hard work pays off in every meal you can provide for your family. Nothing like country life, God Bless you and your family . Thanks.

    Y'all have every right to be proud. Most of the store bought molasses I've ever bought was scorched. Yours looks beautiful. Talking about Andy's grandma, I can remember all the old folks used to keep a jar of molasses sitting on the kitchen table.

    I’ve really enjoyed watching y’all make molasses from start to finish.. When you said “I wish you could smell it” brought back childhood memories from when my fam used to make it when I was a kid in upstate sc. I’m looking forward to y’all making more next year.. Thanks for all your videos! 😘

    All 3 episodes of making the molasses was great. Couldn't wait to see the last one! Lol. I watched another video of making molasses and they go by the size of the bubbles and how quick they burst to determine rather its done. Looking forward to next year's molasses making from yall. Watching from Kentucky

    ❤you both have every right to be proud!! Meagan, you’re the encourager and Andy, you are a little doubtful sometimes. I love it when Meagan says, “That’s right!” 😊 I’ve never done anything like this but in my life before I’ve started a new project I’ve asked the Lord to bless my efforts and bless the products. Personally, I don’t like molasses but yours look mighty pretty. Several years ago I was told to eat it for my health…I’m pretty sure it was for my extremely low hemoglobin. I found some at a roadside stand in the Smokies. It was much darker. I just couldn’t eat it. I really didn’t know what to eat it with. Anyway, I’m super proud of you guys and expect next years making to be even better! ❤

    • @DavidWvu
      @DavidWvu Месяц назад

      Try some of Meagan's molasses cookies. I put molasses on sweet potatoes as they're baking. I also put molasses in homemade cinnamon rolls. I use it in pumpkin and pecan pies recipes. It works well in BBQ sauces too. It works good in baked beans. I hope that gives you some ides how to use it. I really enjoyed watching the 3 part video.

    New Subscriber, Thanks to Celebrating Appalachia. originally from Henderson CO western NC. My mothers family was from Bills Creek near Lake Lure and was famous in the area for their molasses. it was sold in all the local stores grocery stores markets etc, as the family got older the QTY made slowed and it became hard to get. But you could still bug it up into the 90s. i miss it. This was awesome and brings back lots of memories

    @wandafaircloth6934 Год назад

    Yall should be very proud. Most people take their food for granted. Never knowing the work and time it takes to make that 1 jar.
    I get excited at every stage. My favorite thing is to put a seed in the soil and watch it sprout. It’s a new life. Will it grow strong and thrive or will it be sick and need extra care.
    Can’t wait to see what is next.

    You should be so proud of yourselves! That's beautiful molasses. One thing, you shouldn't let your little ones be playing around near the boiling down. One trip, or slide-out or little accident and
    you won't care about that molasses one bit. Your baby will be on a life-flight, and molasses be damned. You should be cautious, and even though your kids are serious minded, it's better to be safe than flying down the road to the hospital. BTW you have great kids, and you're not hurting them one bit teaching them like you do. That's how I was taught, and taught mine.

  • @phyllispitts6656
    @phyllispitts6656 11 месяцев назад

    Y’all are a joy to watch! I watched your video about REAL food. You mentioned supporting local farmers. That’s what my husband and I are trying to do, perhaps on a slower scale. We have been buying our meats from a place called Mitchell’s Butchery. I’m pretty sure you may be familiar with. I can really tell the difference in the meats compared to what you get in the grocery stores. And I do like local eggs much better! Seems like the shells on the grocery store eggs are too thin. Now, I’ve never really cared for molasses, but I would be willing to try the local stuff like y’all make. Got to admit, it looks good. And I alike how particular you are in the product you put out.

    @rublefranklin8762 Год назад +1

    I think you guys did an awesome job on that sorghum could almost taste it thru the video, and those drop biscuits look like they would melt in your mouth, bet they would be good with some sausage gravy. That young man likes those apple almost every video he has an apple in his hand which is good an apple a day........

  • @ArleneMilesKetron
    @ArleneMilesKetron Год назад

    Great job you guys. We used to do this in our community when I was a kid. Great memories but being as young as I was that's probably because I wasn't doin the hard work, lol. You probably already know but just in case you haven't seen it The Appalachian Channel here on RUclips did a series about The Gunther family sorghum operation down in Muddy Pond, TN that is pretty cool. I found a jar of their syrup at a local store and it is excellent. Thank you for your content. I very much enjoy watching you guys.

    That's a great product you have made and it's a lot better than regular syrup. However one thing you never want to do is give it to cows if you do milk them for drinking because the milk will taste like molasses I tell you this because my family did just that back in the early 1950s it's great for the cows just don't want to drink the milk

    This is wonderful! I would absolutely love to try this. I will have to see if we can grow sorghum here--I'm almost sure we could! I love that you guys involve your kids in all of the things that you do--they'll never forget it! Good times.
    I like to make shagbark (shellbark) hickory syrup--which isn't a pure sap syrup--it's made by making tea or water extraction from the loose bark, strained, then sugar added and cooked down. It's delicious! When I make it I do a huge batch so I only need to make it every other or third year (depending on how much my husband takes to his buddies at work, lol). This year I taught my daughter how to make it. We had a blast!
    Enjoy that sorghum!!
