I think this product still exists – though the name has changed slightly across the years. In 1924, it was called Grandma’s Old Fashioned Molasses while today it is just called Grandma’s Molasses. Interesting that company no longer considers it necessary to include “Old Fashioned” in the name, even though it’s been around for at least a hundred years.
There’s a jar sitting in my cupboard, always, as there was in my mother’s as well! Most likely my grandmothers too.
I also have a jar of it.
I keep a gallon in the pantry ( and a smaller jar on the shelve to have handy). I won’t pay the price for brown sugar so I make my own. The gallon in the pantry is for when I make up brines for making jerky and such.
I didn’t know that you could make brown sugar from molasses. Is it hard to do?
1 cup sugar to 1 tablespoon Molasses. Mix well.
More or less molasses for light or dark brown sugar.
I will often just add the sugar and molasses without blending.
Wow, I didn’t how easy it was to make brown sugar. Thanks for sharing the directions.
I use Grandma’s Molasses too.
I’m getting the sense that it’s a staple in many households. 🙂
I can’t tell you how many peanut butter sandwiches I ate made with Grandma’s Molasses.
That’s a new one for me. I’ve had peanut butter and jelly, but never heard of peanut butter and molasses until I read your comment.
Love Molasses cookies!
mmm. . . so do I.
Yep! I have it in my pantry as well! I don’t have to buy it often but when I do it is always Grandma’s!!
It’s a classic. 🙂
I usually have a jar in the pantry as it goes into my homemade Worcestershire sauce each year!
You make your own Worchestershire sauce? I had no idea that that was something an individual could make. Is is difficult?
No not hard at all. Just a bit of chopping then you throw everything into a jar and let it ferment for a while. The recipe is on my blog!
cheers

I love to crack open a sweet potato and add butter, a little (Grandma’s) molasses, and a tiny splash of lime juice! It makes an excellent breakfast.
mmm. . . It sounds delicious – though I never would have thought about having sweet potatoes at breakfast. Maybe I’ll have to expand my repertoire of breakfast foods.
I used to use Grandma’s Molasses years ago when I made granola from scratch.
Homemade granola is much tastier than commercial varieties.
