Molasses is a by-product of sugar making. Molasses is what is left when the sugar is separated from the juice from the sugar cane. There are three grades of molasses: light, dark, and blackstrap.
Here’s today’s TRICK:
When using molasses, lightly grease whatever you’re measuring it in so it doesn’t stick and drops out easily with no sticking.
And here’s a TIP:
Blackstrap molasses are full of B vitamins and are good for you. Look for them in the grocery store, keep the jar closed up in a dark pantry and it will last a good long time.
