Back when I was little we went with my grandpa and grandma to Corn Hill to visit an aunt. The other reason was to get sorghum molasses, my aunt had moved there with her family, They had a mill of some kind and huge cooking vats, pots or whatever they were called. I think they packed the molasses in quart and gallon cans. I asked my older sister, but she could not remember any other details. I neve cared for it as a kid unless it was in the form of molasses cookies, I preferred the Aunt Jemima syrup. Remember toe foam on top?

Not much molasses, but lots of ribbon cane syrup in pies and
cakes and candy and cookies, and over cornbread.
Kinfolks in east Texas used to have a syrup mill that a mule
or ox got hitched to and went round and round like was posted ^ ^
They catch the cane juice and it gets boiled down, etc.
I have an old picture somewhere of my daddy and his
brothers as boys standing in front of a field of cane
they were cutting down. I can't imagine what the
gubmint people would do today if they saw small boys
working in a field with big sharp knives. Probably sh*t yellow

Grandmas is good but the best I have found is Steens. I have to go to the store in Muenster to get it and it sells out fast. So, I stock up on it and cherry butter.

My grandfather used to grind cane and make it every fall in a big cast iron pot.
