Yep, the sweet treat that's healthy and nutritious! :) Our goats get it mixed into porridge oats and warm water when feeling poorly, it's very cold and it's on stand by for kidding.<br />Here in Australia it's more about the golden syrup but I must admit I am a big fan of treacle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-66364453922973857182014-12-01T13:15:31.812-05:002014-12-01T13:15:31.812-05:00Leigh,

I'd love it on bread pudding too. <br /><br />Debby, thanks!<br /><br />Lynda, you're right about it being common in animal feed, and I don't think folks use molasses much these days, except for those special holiday recipes. It's interesting what different flavors the various types have.<br /><br />Barb, and it stays moist for a long time too! At least for as long as it lasts, which isn't long. :)<br /><br />Mama Pea, I like to put it in various things too, for the added nutrition. Hadn't thought of fruit cake, but that's a great idea. <br /><br />Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-353573371508032592014-12-01T09:35:54.516-05:002014-12-01T09:35:54.516-05:00Oh my gosh, that looks so delish!

I use a bit of "regular" molasses and blackstrap molasses, too, in many recipes including my Christmas fruitcake . . . which is nothing like store bought (inedible, preservative laced) fruitcake . . . more like a dense, moist, heavy sweet bread. My grandma believed molasses was a great spring time tonic. But that picture of your gingerbread with the goat's cream whipped topping looks just perfect for this time of year!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-29631023090978391662014-12-01T06:55:44.760-05:002014-12-01T06:55:44.760-05:00So yummy I can smell it from here!So yummy I can smell it from here!Farmer Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596672416236302171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-16925990558294146922014-12-01T04:19:31.660-05:002014-12-01T04:19:31.660-05:00Cant say ive ever seen it here for sale but then i...Cant say ive ever seen it here for sale but then im probably not looking in the right spot. Maybe a health food store might have it. It certainly would be useful for diabetics. Molasses itself is uncommon and i've only heard of it being used in animal feed. If we are not using actual sugar crystals then its honey or golden syrup,which also comes from sugar so perhaps its a very light molasses. (i'm shrugging shoulders). <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605358521258969537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-26622940738291633912014-12-01T02:37:04.409-05:002014-12-01T02:37:04.409-05:00Great info on Blackstrap, thanks!
