[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1638798, member: 21075"] Helped a neighbor make Molasses. He had the mill and we grew the cane. We had about an acre of cane and when it was ready you had to top and beat the leaves off, if the leaves were left on they would make the Molasses bidder. Once topped and the leaves off we took tobacco knives, cut down and tied in bundles. His mill, a mule would go round and round and you got under the pole and ran the cane through to mash the juice out. Once the juice was out it was cooked down (a lot of skimming) until ready. Probably started out with about a 100 gallon of cane juice and after done cooking maybe 20 gallon left. A long day and way into the night before the molasses was ready.
