I came here for a molasses recipe. For me, it is surprisingly a beautiful cultural documentary. I have always heard of sugar cane, I saw the pictures but never cut or shaved. It was amazing how all those juices came out from a hard-looking stick. Thank you for explaining the procedure in detail. All the best.
What a great video! Thank you very much, Miss! Your demonstration and explanation is excellent! This is how my family made molasses when I was a kid, but we never used a grater and we certainly never owned a blender. Dad was in charge of chopping and hammering the canes. Then I got to stand there and stir the pot. It was labor-intensive, but most everything was in those days, and we only made syrups about once a year. Like making soap or sausages or pickles, it was a kind of a fun household event. And I taught my own kids. Too many parents don't bother teaching basic homesteading skills to kids anymore. I hope they will find your video and try! Thanks again and congratulations on a fine video!
This is amazing video it will help me to minimise COSTS bcz market molasses are very expensive,I'm starting goat farming so molasse is very important when making silage for goats,ofcourse I was really in search for this kind of information now you bring it just in time,stay blessed,I'm a malawian currently based in south Africa.
Awww, thanks so much for adding to my knowledge, I never knew you can use molasses for making silage in goat farming. Indeed market molasses is way too expensive and I'm glad this helped.
AWESOME! I’m working on a recipe & decided 2 try black strap molasses! Of course I ran 2 my local grocer and it is not stocked. This is my good fortune because u just taught me I actually need grade B! I had no idea. I’ll try all 3 in my recipe. Thank u sooo much. I just subscribed.
What a discovery... that is, your channel and this particular video...!!! You were precise, explained the process in a very clear way and educated all of us in a subject that most of us are not versed well enough...!!! Bravo...!!! I have subscribed and will follow your step by step teachings...!!! Thank you lovely lady...!!!
I've always loved the taste of molasses from childhood. Today as a cake maker I'm delighted to find this video. It's quite a resource material. Thank you so much ma'am.
@@OnyxFoodHill Hello ^^ amazing video, I wish I lived a place were sugar cane can grow XD I have a question. As far as I thought Molasses was a byproduct of sugar extraction? and the B and C grade molasses was the result of the extra boiling to extract more sugar. How does that function in this process? I mean how would you get sugar crystals our of this boiling process? best wishes -Jonas ^^
@@jolachgh as you boil the cane juice, the water is evaporating and the sugar:water ratio will become higher. if all the fluids were evaporated, you would get sugar crystals. molasses is just more dense cane juice that usually contains 50-70% sugar
Can I give you a pro tip? Freeze the sugarcane pieces for overnight, that would create condensation of the juices and that would make extraction so much easier. Cheers from India 🇮🇳
This is so helpful. I couldn't find molasses last week in the market and brown sugar is so expensive. I'm definitely making this this week. Thank you once again 😊
Hello. your video made my day. I was searching for black strap molasses and also visited the place where they made jaggery and got some cane juice (in the process of jaggery) thinking that its Molasses. but after watching your video i will try making this at home. Keep doing nice video it fun and knowledgeable to watch :)
Hi, black strap molasses is by product of extraction out of sugar from the sugar can juice, and the left over is blackstrap molasses. Does your product taste the same?
I have been searching for blackstrap molasses recipe for years. Once got a little quantity from a local sugar manufacturer but after that they refused to supply me when I asked for more. In India, you mostly get sulphured molasses because they try to process sugarcanes even out of season and then sell it for cattle feed and for alcohol production. I don't have words to express how grateful I am to you, for this recipe. I hope I will be able to make it soon. Just one question, did you cook the whole time on medium heat or did you use low flame for grade C?
Thank you so much dearie for your kind words. I'm really glad you got the recipe for sugarcane molasses at last. I cooked it on medium heat all through the whole time but reduced the heat towards the last stage because it hardens up too quickly before the dark molasses will have the chance to form. You can also add a little amount of water towards the last stage if yours thickens up too quickly. Keep cooking it gradually on low heat and stir intermittently until it changes into the final stage.
I always wanted to have black molasses, it's a great video to start using black molasses,but I want to know something do I have to add preservatives also to preserve for sometime.
Hi prabha ji.kya suchmuch isse bal kale hote hai.rung to kala nahi padta hai na .ya wrinkles ata hai chehre pe.apka experience pls shar kijiye.bahut abhari rahungi aapki.
Thanks for the recipe... I've been preparing it for quite some time... What is meant by un sulphered.. Is it safe to use for years together.. Pl. Explain. Tq. From India
Unsulphured means it has no sulphur chemicals in it, commercially it is added buy food companies to extend shelf life to my knowledge. If any knows better than please do share.
I made it like you said it turned out very perfect black strap molasses its damn bitter 🥴 I thought it was almost burnt since it tasted so weird and bitter 😂 but thank you for the amazing recipe
Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea before how to make molasses but tried to follow your recipe using 0.5L. I tried to follow your timings but my grade A is far too thick as I allowed it to foam so will adjust on my next attempt (suspect lower volume or heat too high). I am interested in grade A or grade C and assume if i stop the process after boil 1 then I can take all as grade A or alternatively I take nothing and continue with the 3 boiling steps and then only make grade C. Is my assumption correct?
Great video, I have a question, maybe a dumb one. When spooning off the grade b molasses prior to last phase , how do you know what to spoon off? is there a clear difference in the material color or texture? I was not able to identify what exactly was being removed. Thank you.
When making molasses, you have to know what stage you really want from the beginning. If the grade B molasses was what you need, then once you reach that level, simply stop. You don't have to move to the final stage of having blackstrap. Their differences lie in their taste and consistency. Grade A is a syrup with a yellowish color and taste sweet and aromatic. Grade B is thicker and has a slightly darker color (dark brown in color) and has a mixture of sweet and bitter taste. Grade C - blackstrap is purely black and very thick (because most of the water content has been removed) and it is totally bitter (though it has concentration of the nutrients). You can read more in the description box.
Tanks dear for this great video u made I v b looking for how to do black strap molasses I couldn't find it. I try to get it in supermarket some of the supermarket don't v it. I manage to storm into pharmaceutical store dey don't v but still waiting on supply wen I was told d cost my sister very expensive wit dis video Wit speed I will make mine tanks very. More wisdom.
It is used for upper respiratory with leaf of life or during second term pregnancy when iron is low due to distribution volume and baby need more iron.
Mam if i made this with Jaggery i can get same nutrition. And if it is jaggery how it become bitter in taste only by boiling and if is not burnt .can u pls clear it madam
The greenish residue you are scoping @ 5:13 is the sugar of the cane juice ?? If so, in the later stages of cooking also we find lots of foam coming up .. do we need to scoop them out also??
The greenish residue is to be discarded. Later stages of cooking will be foamy when the water content is reducing, no need of scooping the foam, just turn off heat to cool off, then continue cooking or simply add water and continue cooking until you have the stage you are looking for.
My husband bought molasses the grandma brand I said to get black strapped.. he said they didn’t have it I found it in powder form on Walmart website that I could use my eBay card I’m using it for the chickens one has gleet and it my last attempt to cure it but all the birds are being wormed n I do want it around for anyone that needs to have it if they get poisoned that I suddenly realize also ... the worming is for three days before the next full moon but I want to have a tinny bit to their food to replace needed vit ... so how do I thicken up powder to in water to drizzle a tinny bit not to cause any more heavy poop but replace vit needed or add it to a few watterers I wrote down the watering down to add to watershed think it wash a tablespoon to a gallon i think or was it 16 oz to 5 gal of water ior something I can’t remember off the top of my head. Should I just mix some in a cup of warm water maybe heat it n ad some to the non black strip molasses ? To make sure I got some of what I need ? Next month when theirs more c’s money n money in debt card to pay for the shipping I’ll buy a bigger liquid bottle . I tried Amazon but non of it was ebt nor amazon prime for my discounted free delivery I’m suddenly bewildered the m sure it’s not corn starch to thicken like elderberry if it’s not thick when bought dies heat thicken powder?
When you have a very large batch, you can cool it off and extract any sugar crystals formed as a result of saturation. In this case, the sugarcane juice is not large enough, therefore no saturation, which means sugar crystals will not form but that will not stop the molasses from being made. I hope this helps. Thanks
i made grade B in medium flame but than i feel before of grade C heard to-much hard sulfur spoiled smell and slightly getting black too i felt like spoiled everything i made in wrong process or it just smells like that only, pls tell some signs to identify
Yeah, grade C is usually black and bitter. That is how it should be. It is used in recipes and not as a sweetener, so you shouldn't expect it to be sweet.

Is this a organic one??
Do you mean the sugarcane I used?
I thought molasses was the left over substance after they extract the sugar. But I didnt see you extract any of the sugar.
When you have a very large batch, you can cool it off and extract any sugar crystals formed as a result of saturation. In this case, the sugarcane juice is not large enough, therefore no saturation, which means sugar crystals will not form but that will not stop the molasses from being made.
I hope this helps. Thanks
More concentrated juice results in crystallization.
When I enter into the blackstrap mollosses stage and cold it down it become so hard I can’t even take out the spoon . What should I do?
Turn off the heat, then Add small amount of water and reheat again. When it becomes less viscous, turn off heat.
i made grade B in medium flame but than i feel before of grade C heard to-much hard sulfur spoiled smell and slightly getting black too i felt like spoiled everything i made in wrong process or it just smells like that only, pls tell some signs to identify
Yeah, grade C is usually black and bitter. That is how it should be. It is used in recipes and not as a sweetener, so you shouldn't expect it to be sweet.
This is wonderful
Thanks
