but I've never bought molasses before, is it widely available does anyone know?

[Snowy]

I always thought molasses was just the american term for treacle

[Guest]

is it? so I can use treacle then? cool

 

that's another hamper goodie sorted, thanks.

That's black treacle, not golden syrup. Sometimes GS is known as treacle (think treacle tart ).

 

Poet, why are you doing this to me (and the others of course!! )....yet another recipe for yummy stuff. I am running out of time within the last week before Christmas, what with lemon curd (if I have enough eggies from my chooks left from any cakes etc I make as well!) with meringues from the whites, chocolate truffles, chocolate coated peppermint creams (thanks Pam!), HM Baileys to make too plus the bottling of my various grogs which should be ready that week. Still I suppose it should all keep the children amused....slave labour is obviously on the cards too!

p.s. isn't this site wonderful for night owls?! Many's the time I've crawled into bed so far after midnight DH thinks it's time to get up

You could use black treacle for these - but you can buy molasses from health food shops - it comes in a tin.

 

I use it for making Boston Baked Beans - very occasionally

I always thought molasses was what sheep drink

[Lesley]

No, they would eat it - it is added to their feed sometimes

[Snowy]

So how does it differ from black treacle?

Have a look **here**.

Ours (well I say ours, I don't own them, I'm merely just the work experience boy ) have molasses in these wheel feeders, and they turn the wheel to lick off the molasses. They seem to love it, and attack you if they see you filling up the feeders. And then they get all brown and sticky noses it's funny to watch.

I used to give it to my horse, you can get it from horsey shops usually in a 1ltr bottle.

[Snowy]

Thanks Egluntine!

 

Used to give my pony molasses - he loved it too

I used to give it to my horse, you can get it from horsey shops usually in a 1ltr bottle.

At the farm we had literally 10 huge crate bottle things which were something ridiculous like 100 gallon +, they had a tap on the bottom, which you empty into 15 litres to then fill up the wheel feeders. Believe me, the stuff is heavy, especially when you're freezing cold in the morning, and then have to battle with 50 sheep who are all trying to get inside the bottle

Oh the memories!
