I bet pecan pie would be awesome with sorghum. Seems to me there's
something else that eliminates crystalization in sugar. The French
seem to have survived jes fine without corn syrup.

Hey, you pastry and candy freaks!! Gotta question fer ya'.

Next time you're crossing the Central Valley to get to Yosemite, or
wherever in the glorious Sierras, stop at one of the bigger
veggie/fruit/nut stands that are ubiquitous, out there. French Camp
Rd South of Stockton, East of Manteca on 120, Escalon, Oakdale, they
all have 'em. Not the small specialized fruit stands selling only
kiwis and/or ollalieberries, but the big ones with signs starting 2
miles before you get there. You know the one's.

They typically have either jars or sometimes even big qt tins of real
Southern sorghum. Most of it comes from MS or AL or GA. It looks
like honey. It's to die for. I gotta find me a source. Most ppl,
here, haven't a clue what sorghum is.

An alternative we prefer (here in the desert) is to use a tiny
well-washed and soaked unglazed terracotta pot. We soak it in water for
a few minutes, let it drain a bit and pop it in the jar with the sugar.
Works for a few weeks, then rinse and soak again. Special terracotta
disks are marketed just for that purpose, which is what gave me the
idea.

The biggest trick is to remember I should look for it there, because I
won't be up that way for a while.

Wow, I didn't have a clue either. I thought it was more like
blackstrap.

Because of its resemblance to honey I use it to brew mead-like-stuff.

My mother has a fondness for sorghum. They used a lot of that when she
grew up, so we always had it in the house. They sell it here for food
consumption, but most of it goes to other uses, like biofuel. Louisiana
is the 4th largest grower but I think Texas may be 1st or 2nd.

Do you have actual gas stations that sell biofuel or is it used mainly
for public transportation and state owned vehicles?

Brown sugar is = white sugar mixed with molasses


Light brown less molasses
Dark brown More molasses.

I use Karo corn syrup, but not HFCS, in peanut brittle, caramel corn,
pecan pie, cinnamon rolls (sometimes), pralines, bread pudding, popcorn
balls and a chocolate sauce for Pears Belle Helene.

Agreed (although I only make pecan pie and caramel corn with it).
Didn't even know HFCS was sold as a stand alone product at the retail
level.

I totally agree. I wouldn't make pecanless pie without
corn syrup. I have used it in a few other things over the
years but I don't make much that calls for it. But I don't
believe it is evil. Actually, I don't even believe that HFCS
is evil. Although I like the taste of real sugar better so
I'd rather have that in things that the corn syrup - especially
sodas (Coke, etc.).

The same sort of thing happened (when I was a kid) to a newly made
birthday cake shoved into the deepest corner of the kitchen counter...
and the dog was a six month old St. Bernard puppy. Fortunately it was
my father's birthday cake, not mine. Better him than me, I say!

It reminded me of a recent thread in uk.f+d about Jersey bean crocks.
The discussion was about using pig trotters - nobody mentioned using
pork belly and the mere thought of using a hock was almost heretical.

http://www.i-love-jersey.co.uk/bean-crock.html

Jersey Bean Crock

Bean Crock has become the traditional dish of Jersey. It makes a
filling but very tasty meal, and there are as many recipes as there
are cooks - but they're all based on a mixture of dried beans, pork -
preferably on the bone - or sometimes beef, and onions.

Traditionally, the jar of beans and meat was carried to the bakery to
cook overnight. A good bean crock relies on long, slow cooking.

Traditional crock pots are still sold in Jersey - but you can use a
large casserole dish with a lid, or even a slow cooker to make a bean
crock.

Sometimes the beans used are just haricot beans, sometimes they are
mixed beans. If you want to try making your own, Touzels Pet Shop near
the Central Market sell mixed bags of beans for bean crocks, as well
as the crock pots.

It was traditional to use pig's trotters - they give a rich gravy
which forms a gel as it cools, but don't have much meat on them, so
you need to add extra pork. Hocks can also be used. My recipe uses
belly pork - easier to get and I don't have any problem getting a good
thick gravy despite the lack of bones.

Ingredients

500g/1lb mixed beans
500g/1lb belly pork, cubed
2 onions
4 bay leaves
Black pepper
Salt

Soak the beans overnight in cold water. If the mixture includes red
kidney beans it is important to boil the beans for at least 10 minutes
before putting them in the crock pot.

Put the beans, cubed pork and roughly sliced onions into the crock pot
with the bay leaves and pepper.

Cover with water, and cook slowly in a moderate oven for at least five
hours. Check periodically to see that there is still enough water. You
want the bean crock to thicken up, but not burn or dry out.

Add salt towards the end of the cooking. Serve with crusty bread and
perhaps some green salad.

At community events in Jersey such as Barn Dances, bean crocks may be
brought and served by the organizers. If you sample them, you will
find that every one is different. Some are thick, some thin, some have
carrots added. I definitely prefer mine on the thick side!

Poor wording on my part. I didn't mean to imply that HFCS is available
to consumers as a stand alone product. I was just trying to say that
there are several common uses for corn syrup. The original poster said
he hadn't ever used corn syrup. I still think of HFCS as a heavily
promoted industrial ingredient shipped by rail in tank cars from the
factory that makes it to the factory that uses it.

I *have* seen HFCS in the list of ingredients on *some*, but not all,
Karo bottles though. It seems to me that the trend is to stop using HFCS
so much. Some labels actually tout that feature now.

But isn't that usually in products that wouldn't have it anyway, like
trans fats? Some products that say "no trans fats" make me laugh.

Corn syrup is mostly glucose. I don't know if that's true of light corn
syrup.

Thick? This is the first time I've heard of it and have not noticed
it on the shelf. I'm working down two bottles of L&P at the moment or
I'd be out looking for it in a flash. Thanks for the head's up.

I think you'll like it. Odd that they never thought of doing this
before. You can put it on a steak and it stays put instead of dripping
under the steak. Use it straight from the bottle as steak sauce! Hmmm...
now I want a steak. :-)

You're one of those gals can be ministered to all night and day and
you'll never flash until someone brings you a crate of copper tops.

I don't use it as a steak sauce, just seasoning... but I like the idea
anyway.

When I tried it it seemed too similar to the American steak sauce brand
A-1. On steaks that do well with sauce (the best ones don't even need
salt) I like Heinz 57 or Maggi sauce. Maggi is closer to soy sauce than
to worchstershire sauce.

When I was a kid it was our beagle and my sister's wedding cake. Chunks
were taken off as far as the dog could get to leaving most of the cake
intact. Repairs were made, the cake was rotated, the back of the cake
was carefully ignored during the reception. Dad waiting long enough to
show the photos that it could be taken in good humor. I always seek to
emulate Dad's wisdom and never quite pull it off.

In Louisiana, we have a couple of stations that sell biodiesel.

I like the L&P Thick a little better than the A-1 but the L&P is more
versatile. I haven't tried the Maggi but will look for a bottle in the
store - I plan on eating more steaks.

Unless you make your Bloody Marys with tomato sauce and eat it with a
spoon, you're probably right that the regular thin stuff would work
better. :-) I use Worcestershire mostly for hamburgers and meatloaves
and stews and pot roasts.

Europeans like Maggi. I was introduced to it by a Dane... but I
prefer L&P.

Looks like Maggi sauce is hydrolyzed vegetable protein which is the same
idea behind non-brewed soy sauces. European, eh? Hopefully, I'll be able
to find it in Safeway and not in fancy-schmancy boutique food stores.

I was watching an episode of Nigella Lawson last week and she was
making something with brown rice syrup and I'd never heard of it.
Sounded quite interesting and probably is not at my local Kroger but
would like to try it. She's also used golden syrup in the past and
I've not tried it either. I think she said corn syrup would be a good
substitute for the golden.

It's available at my local Kroger in the Asian aisle. Hopefully it
will be at your Safeway, too.
