Grandma's Robust Unsulphured Molasses 12 oz

Overview

This is a 12 ounce jar of Grandma's Robust unsulphured molasses, a single-ingredient baking staple made from sugarcane with no added preservatives, flavors or colors. It suits home bakers making gingerbread, pies, cakes and glazes, and is kosher, gluten free and Non-GMO Project certified.

Unsulphured molasses skips the sulfur dioxide used to process molasses from immature sugarcane, which generally gives it a cleaner, less acrid sweetness than sulphured versions. Grandma's Robust grade sits between mild and blackstrap in intensity, dark and full flavored without the bitterness blackstrap carries. At 12 ounces this is sized for regular baking rather than bulk cooking or preserving.

Who it's for

Suits home bakers who want a single small jar of unsulphured molasses for gingerbread, pies, cakes or glazes, and who care about kosher, gluten free or Non-GMO Project certification. Not the right size for someone making BBQ sauce or baked beans in bulk.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Molasses is the syrup left after sugar crystals are extracted from sugarcane juice, and the grade (light, robust or blackstrap) reflects how many times that juice has been boiled down. Robust sits in the middle, dark and full bodied without the sharp bitterness of blackstrap, which is why it's the grade most gingerbread and spice cake recipes are written around. Because it's unsulphured, there's no sulfur dioxide residue affecting flavor, just the cane itself.
