Sorghum Caramel Brownies
Sorghum was the main sweetener used by the early settlers. It was used in cooking, baking and sweetening their drinks. It is nutritious, containing both vitamins and minerals. It's a true southern flavor! By the time one years making was almost gone it would have turned into sugar granules. But was easily turned back to liquid by warming.
NOTE* My father came from a big family and he used to tell of how many gallons of sorghum his family ate each week. They cooked the cane syrup themselves and made pies, cakes, and ate it with hot biscuits each meal. They used 52 gallons a year! Big family, 4 big, tall boys and 4 kinda big, girls. Ha It was something to be at the table and see how much they could eat!
